|
|
|
+* RaspberryPi 1
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+brcm2708-bcm2709
|
|
|
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* RaspberryPi 2
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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/issues/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/issues/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 is updated to a newer version, enabling new SSH crytpo 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 officially supported, it's possible to choose between
|
|
|
+ IBSS- and 11s-capable firmwares in site.mk (`#864 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/864>`_)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The ``prefix4`` and ``next_node.ip4`` site.conf options are now optional.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Bugfixes
|
|
|
+~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Extremely slow downloads could lead to multiple instances of the autoupdater
|
|
|
+ running concurrently. Use lockfile to prevent this and add timeouts to download
|
|
|
+ processes. (`#582 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/582>`_)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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
|
|
|
+~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* mac80211, hostapd and other related drivers and services have been backported from LEDE ``42f559e``
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* 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 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.
