New features
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Many UBNT Airmax XM model names are detected correctly now (e.g., the Loco
|
|
is no longer displayed as Bullet) (`#632 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/632>`_)
|
|
|
|
Also, various new image aliases have been added for these devices.
|
|
|
|
* batman-adv: mesh_no_rebroadcast is now enabled for Mesh-on-WAN/LAN (`#652 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/652>`_)
|
|
|
|
* The new UCI option ``gluon-core.@wireless[0].preserve_channels`` can be used to
|
|
prevent a changed WLAN channel from being reset on firmware upgrades (`#640 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/640>`_)
|
|
|
|
* PoE passthrough can now be configured from site.conf and the Advanced Settings
|
|
on TP-Link CPE 210/510 and Ubiquiti NanoStations (`#328 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/328>`_)
|
|
|
|
* The config mode *altitude* field can now be hidden using the ``config_mode.geo_location.show_altitude``
|
|
site.conf setting (`#693 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/693>`_)
|
|
|
|
* The contact information field in the config mode can be made obligatory using
|
|
the ``config_mode.owner.obligatory`` site.conf option
|
|
|
|
* The *node name* setting in the config mode is no longer restricted to valid DNS
|
|
hostnames, but allows any UTF-8 string (`#414 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/414>`_)
|
|
|
|
* Besides the hostname, public key, site config and primary MAC address, the contact
|
|
information can now be accessed from config mode site texts
|
|
|
|
* The functions ``escape`` and ``urlescape`` for HTML and URL escaping are now available from config mode
|
|
site texts. They should always be used when including user-provided information like
|
|
hostnames and contact information in HTML code or URLs.
|
|
|
|
* Dropbear has been updated to a newer version, enabling new SSH crypto methods and removing
|
|
some old ones like DSA. This reduces the time needed for the first boot and makes
|
|
SSH logins faster (`#223 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/223>`_)
|
|
|
|
* WLAN basic and supported rate sets have been made configurable, to allow disabling
|
|
802.11b rates (`#810 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/810>`_)
|
|
|
|
* ath10k-based devices are now supported officially; it's possible to choose between
|
|
IBSS- and 11s-capable firmwares in site.mk (`#864 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/864>`_)
|
|
|
|
* The ``prefix4`` and ``next_node.ip4`` site.conf options are optional now.
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* The stability of the ath9k WLAN driver has been improved significantly
|
|
(`#605 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/605>`_)
|
|
|
|
mac80211, hostapd and other related drivers and services have been backported from LEDE ``42f559e``.
|
|
|
|
* Extremely slow downloads could lead to multiple instances of the autoupdater
|
|
running concurrently (`#582 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/582>`_)
|
|
|
|
A lockfile is used to prevent this and timeouts have been added to download processes.
|
|
|
|
* Usage of static DNS servers on the WAN port has been fixed
|
|
(`#886 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/886>`_)
|
|
|
|
This is a regression introduced in Gluon v2016.1.6.
|
|
|
|
Other changes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* The "Expert Mode" has been renamed to "Advanced Settings"
|
|
|
|
Site changes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
site.mk
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If you want to support ath10k-based devices, you should set GLUON_ATH10K_MESH
|
|
and GLUON_REGION as described in :ref:`getting-started-make-variables`.
|
|
|
|
i18n
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
As the hostname field may now contain an arbitrary UTF-8 string, escaping must
|
|
be added.
|
|
|
|
Change
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<%=hostname%>
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<%=escape(hostname)%>
|
|
|
|
Inside of URLs, ``urlescape`` must be used instead of ``escape``.
|
|
|
|
Internals
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Mesh interfaces are now configured in a protocol-independent way in UCI (`#870 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/870>`_)
|
|
|
|
The MAC address assignment of all mesh and WLAN interfaces has been modified to prepare for support of
|
|
Ralink/Mediatek-based WLAN chips.
|
|
|
|
* Preparations for supporting the new batman-adv multicast optimizations have been made
|
|
(`#674 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/674>`_, `#675 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/675>`_,
|
|
`#679 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/679>`_)
|
|
|
|
* All Lua code is minified now to save some space
|
|
|
|
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 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.
