 Use the most recent release instead. You can list all relaseses by running `git tag`

 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 2017.1.1
+==============
+
+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 prevent 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.
