- Gluon 2016.2.1
- ==============
- Added hardware support
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ar71xx-generic
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- * TP-Link
- - TL-WA901ND v4
- Bugfixes
- ~~~~~~~~
- * Make status page work with disabled cookies/local storage
- (`#912 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/912>`_)
- * Update kernel to 3.18.44
- Fixes CVE-2016-5195 and CVE-2016-7117. It is unlikely that these issues pose
- a threat to usual Gluon setups, but installing additional packages may make a
- system vulnerable. In any case, updating is highly recommended.
- * Downgrade mac80211 to an earlier state
- Unfortunately, a mac80211 update that was done shortly before the release of
- Gluon v2016.2 (that seemed necessary to properly support ath10k devices) had
- again caused severe ath9k stability issues that remained unreported until v2016.2
- was out.
- We have now reverted mac80211 to an earlier state that was reported to be very
- stable (while keeping the ath10k-specific changes); in addition, some patches
- that were reported to cause connection or performance issues with certain clients
- have been reverted. While is it still not perfectly stable, is should be at least
- as good as (and probably better than) the v2016.1.x release series.
- 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.
- * Git HTTPS downloads from git.kernel.org fail on Debian Wheezy (`#919 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/919>`_)
- The GnuTLS version on Debian Wheezy is too old and can't establish a connection with
- git.kernel.org anymore. A newer GnuTLS version is available in wheezy-backports, but
- as there is no libcurl3-gnutls package linked against the new version, installing the
- new version has no effect.
