==============

|
|
New features
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Preserve *gw_mode* on sysupgrades (`#1196 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1196>`_)
|
|
|
|
When a Gluon node is used as uplink (for example by connecting it to a router with
|
|
a DHCP server directly, instead of using non-Gluon servers for the internet uplink),
|
|
the *gw_mode* must be set to *server* on that node. The changed *gw_mode* is now
|
|
preserved on upgrades.
|
|
|
|
* Allow configuring the batman-adv routing algorithm (*BATMAN IV* or *BATMAN V*)
|
|
in *site.conf* (`#1185 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/1185>`_)
|
|
|
|
*BATMAN V* still hasn't received extensive testing (and is incompatible with *BATMAN IV*).
|
|
This new option allows to set up *BATMAN V*-based test meshes. If unset, the routing
|
|
algorithm will default to *BATMAN IV*.
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: lua
|
|
|
|
mesh = {
|
|
batman_adv = {
|
|
routing_algo = 'BATMAN_V'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
* New *show-release* Make target
|
|
|
|
The command ``make show-release`` can be used to print the release number
|
|
defined by *GLUON_RELEASE* to the standard output. This can be useful for build scripts
|
|
when a ``$(shell ...)`` expression is used in *site.mk* to generate the release
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* The image build code used for some devices has been fixed, solving multiple
|
|
issues (`#1193 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1193>`_)
|
|
|
|
Problems caused by this issue include:
|
|
|
|
- sysupgrade rejecting Allnet images
|
|
- OpenMesh devices losing their configuration on upgrades
|
|
|
|
This is a regression introduced in Gluon v2017.1.
|
|
|
|
* Improve sysupgrade error handling (`#1160 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1160>`_)
|
|
|
|
If for some reason processes don't react to SIGKILL (usually because of a kernel bug),
|
|
a node could hang forever in sysupgrade, requiring a power cycle. This has been
|
|
fixed, triggering a reboot instead.
|
|
|
|
* Also display *gluon-config-mode:novpn* message when Tunneldigger is installed, but disabled
|
|
(`#1172 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/1172>`_)
|
|
|
|
It was only displayed on nodes with fastd before.
|
|
|
|
* Fix migration of enabled/disabled state between fastd and Tunneldigger
|
|
(`#1187 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1187>`_)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
* Sporadic segfaults of busybox (ash) when running shell scripts on ar71xx
|
|
(`#1157 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1157>`_)
|
|
|
|
The workaround added in Gluon v2017.1.1 has greatly reduced the frequency of
|
|
segfaults, but did not make them disappear completely.
