- New features
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- OpenWrt Barrier Breaker
- -----------------------
- Switching to the new OpenWrt release 14.09 ("Barrier Breaker") has yielded
- lots of updates for both the kernel and most packages. Besides better
- performance, this has also greatly improved stability (far less out-of-memory
- issues!).
- Modular config mode
- -------------------
- The old ``gluon-config-mode`` package has been split into five
- small packages, each providing a single section of the config
- mode form. This simplifies removing or replacing parts of the wizard.
- See the *Site changes* section for details.
- Experimental support for batman-adv compat 15
- ---------------------------------------------
- As batman-adv has broken compatiblity starting with batman-adv 2014.0
- (bumping the "compat level" to 15), Gluon users must decide which
- batman-adv version to use. The package for the old batman-adv version
- ``gluon-mesh-batman-adv`` has been renamed to ``gluon-mesh-batman-adv-14``,
- the new version can be used with ``gluon-mesh-batman-adv-15``.
- Please note that batman-adv compat 15 still isn't tested very well
- (and there are known bugs in the current release 2014.3), so for now
- we still recommend using compat 14 in "production" environments.
- fastd v16
- ---------
- Besides other new features and bugfixes, fastd v16 support the new
- authentication method "UMAC". We recommend switching from the old
- ``salsa2012+gmac`` and ``null+salsa2012+gmac`` methods to the new
- ``salsa2012+umac`` and ``null+salsa2012+umac`` as UMAC is
- much faster and even more secure than GMAC.
- Private WLAN
- ------------
- The new package ``gluon-luci-private-wifi`` allows to configure a private WLAN
- with WPA-PSK in the expert mode which is bridged with the WAN uplink.
- Bugfixes
- ~~~~~~~~
- * Expert Mode: Fixed all SSH keys being removed when a password was set
- * ``gluon-mesh-vpn-fastd``: Fixed VPN peers removed from the ``site.conf`` not being removed from ``/etc/config/fastd``
- * TL-LINK TL-WDR3600/4300: Added workaround for reboot issues
- * Improved stability (due to switch to OpenWrt Barrier Breaker)
- Site changes
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- * ``site.mk``
- - Obsolete packages:
- + ``gluon-config-mode``
- + ``gluon-mesh-batman-adv``
- - Recommended new packages:
- + ``gluon-config-mode-autoupdater``
- + ``gluon-config-mode-hostname``
- + ``gluon-config-mode-mesh-vpn``
- + ``gluon-config-mode-geo-location``
- + ``gluon-config-mode-contact-info``
- + ``gluon-mesh-batman-adv-14`` (specify this before all other packages in the ``site.mk``!)
- Internals
- ~~~~~~~~~
- The switch to Barrier Breaker has led to a multitude of changes all over Gluon:
- * The config mode/setup mode is now started by an own set of init scripts in ``/lib/gluon/setup-mode/rc.d`` run by procd
- * Many tools and services used by Gluon have been replaced by our own implementations to reduce the size of the images:
- - ethtool has been replaced by our minimal Lua library *lua-ethtool-stats*
- - tc has been replaced by our minimal implementation *gluon-simple-tc*
- - radvd has been replaced by our minimal implementation *gluon-radvd*
