Gluon 2017.1.1 (in development)
===============================
Bugfixes
~~~~~~~~
* The autoupdater manifest has been extended to allow automatic upgrades from
old *x86-kvm* and *x86-xen_domu* systems to the new *x86-generic* image
(`869ceb4 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/869ceb425cd5f9db3eafddcc52377fd94c6ba0dd>`_)
* Make flash writable again on Ubiquiti PicoStations with certain bootloader
versions (and possibly other devices)
(`9a787c9 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/9a787c9878069158151c843b8fd9aa338815d61e>`_)
Units affected by this issue running Gluon v2017.1 can't leave config mode and
no regular sysupgrades are possible. TFTP recovery is necessary to make them
work again.
* Add workaround to reduce sporadic segfaults of busybox (ash) when running shell scripts on ar71xx
(`#1157 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1157>`_)
* Disable batman-adv multicast optimizations to work around issue causing large
amounts of management traffic
(`819758f <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/819758f4250af8820851945ba1a6c17748b0ab4b>`_)
Multicast optimizations will be enabled again when a proper fix is available.
Known issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* 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 promicious 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.
* Sporadic segfaults of busybox (ash) when running shell scripts on ar71xx (`#1157 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1157>`_)
The issue has become very infrequent with Gluon v2017.1.1, but it may still lead
to out-of-memory on long-running nodes.
