docs: remove obsolete workaround for paragraphs in nested lists
With older versions of the RTD theme, paragraphs in nested lists would
lead to inconsistent spacing. This has been fixed, so we can remove our
workaround to use line blocks instead of paragraphs.

Gluon 2019.1.3
==============
Bugfixes
--------
- Fixes a bug in the tunneldigger watchdog where the watchdog would incorrectly find itself while looking up the running tunneldigger process. It then went on and assumed a PID mismatch between the tunneldigger service and its PID file and therefore caused an unnecessary restart of the tunnel. (`#1952 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1952>`_)
- Fixes an oversight in the firewalling of the respondd service where queries from prefix listed in ``extra_prefixes6`` would be dropped. (`#1941 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1941>`_)
- Fixes a bug in ``gluon-web`` where forms would not correctly update their field visibility on reset. This affected, for example, the private wifi page in the config mode. (`#1970 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/1970>`_)
- Fixes RX buffer sizing in the ath10k driver to allow for frames larger than 1528 Bytes. (`#1992 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/1992>`_)
- Fixed handling of mesh interfaces together with outdoor mode, site.conf defaults and config mode (`#2049 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2049>`_) (`#2054 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2054>`_)
- Fixes a bug with perl when building Gluon v2019.1.x with GCC10
- Fixes a buffer leak in fastd when receiving invalid packets
Other Changes
-------------
- Linux kernel has been updated to either
- 4.9.237 (ar71xx, brcm2708, mpc85xx) or
- 4.14.199 (ipq40xx, ipq806x, mvebu, ramips, sunxi, x86).
- Backports of batman-adv bugfixes
Known issues
------------
* Out of memory situations with high client count on ath9k.
(`#1768 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1768>`_)
* The integration of the BATMAN_V routing algorithm is incomplete.
- Mesh neighbors don't appear on the status page. (`#1726 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1726>`_)
Many tools have the BATMAN_IV metric hardcoded, these need to be updated to account for the new throughput
metric.
- Throughput values are not correctly acquired for different interface types.
(`#1728 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1728>`_)
This affects virtual interface types like bridges and VXLAN.
* Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown
(`#94 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/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 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/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 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/522>`_)
The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced eventually. The old API will still be supported for a while.
* Frequent reboots due to out-of-memory or high load due to memory pressure on weak hardware especially in larger
meshes (`#1243 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1243>`_)
Optimizations in Gluon 2018.1 have significantly improved memory usage.
There are still known bugs leading to unreasonably high load that we hope to
solve in future releases.
