Please refrain from using the `master` branch for anything else but development purposes!
Use the most recent release instead. You can list all relaseses by running `git tag`
and switch to one by running `git checkout v2016.2.5 && make update`.
and switch to one by running `git checkout v2016.2.6 && make update`.
If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases.
If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes *will break* eventually.

Gluon 2016.2.6
==============
Added hardware support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ar71xx-generic
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* TP-Link TL-WR841N/ND v12
Bugfixes
~~~~~~~~
* Fix `CVE-2016-10229 <https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-10229>`_
(`#1097 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1097>`_)
Fortunately, the standard Gluon setup is not vulnerable, as the issue only affects
applications that use MSG_PEEK on UDP sockets. dnsmasq does use MSG_PEEK, but
only in the DHCP component, which is not enabled during normal node operation.
* Fix roaming issue affecting communication between clients
(`#1121 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1121>`_)
This issue affects all previous releases of Gluon v2016.2.x.
* Fix build against OpenSSL 1.1 (`b6a22ce <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/b6a22ce79307853b175192178bb0333d976a3a6f>`_)
* Fix build with long path names (`#1120 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1120>`_)
* Use new staged sysupgrade procedure (`d4a69c0 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/d4a69c00047f72696a2400cd7129be032de458e3>`_)
The new sysupgrade fixes an issue affecting x86, causing nodes to lose their
configuration on upgrade when the size of the kernel partition grows. This is
the case when upgrading from Gluon v2016.2.x to newer (LEDE-based) Gluon
versions. **This means that a Gluon node running an older version must be
upgraded to Gluon v2016.2.6 first before switching to a LEDE-based version!**
One downside of the staged sysupgrade is that all processes, including the SSH
server, will be terminated at the start of the sysupgrade to allow unmounting
the root filesystem. This makes it impossible to get any feedback from the
upgrade process without a serial console.
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.
