Gluon 2016.2.3 ============== Added hardware support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ar71xx-generic ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * TP-Link TL-WR940N v4 * TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v4 Removed hardware support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Support for Meraki devices (MR12/16/62/66) has been removed for now because of severe problems (all devices were using the same MAC addresses). Support will return when the issues have been fixed. Bugfixes ~~~~~~~~ * Automatically restart respondd on failure (`#863 `_) There have been many reports of respondd processes disappearing; the exact cause is unclear, but might be related to the batman-adv debugfs interface and/or out-of-memory conditions. A new respondd initscript uses procd to automatically restart respondd when it dies. * Make autoupdater timeouts more robust (`#987 `_) It was reported that wget processes sometimes hang indefinitely during the autoupdater manifest download. The autoupdater has been improved to ensure that wget can always be interrupted after a timeout. This issue, together with the recent addition of lock files to ensure that only one instance of the autoupdater can run at a time, had caused the autoupdater to blocked completely by hanging processes in some cases (till a node was rebooted). * Fix regulation domain switching in ath10k (`#1001 `_) Prevents use of too high transmission power in some cases. * Ensure that *prefix6* in site.conf is always a /64 prefix (`6b62e2f `_) Other prefix lengths were never supported and don't make sense in many places the prefix is used. Ensure that such configurations will not pass validation. Known Issues ~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (`#94 `_) Reducing the TX power in the Advanced Settings is recommended. * The MAC address of the WAN interface is modified even when Mesh-on-WAN is disabled (`#496 `_) This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promiscuous mode is disallowed). * Inconsistent respondd API (`#522 `_) The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced eventually. The old API will still be supported for a while.
