  1. Gluon 2016.2.3
  2. ==============
  3. Added hardware support
  4. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  5. ar71xx-generic
  6. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  7. * TP-Link TL-WR940N v4
  8. * TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v4
  9. Removed hardware support
  10. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  11. Support for Meraki devices (MR12/16/62/66) has been removed for now because of
  12. severe problems (all devices were using the same MAC addresses). Support will return
  13. when the issues have been fixed.
  14. Bugfixes
  15. ~~~~~~~~
  16. * Automatically restart respondd on failure (`#863 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/863>`_)
  17. There have been many reports of respondd processes disappearing; the exact cause is unclear,
  18. but might be related to the batman-adv debugfs interface and/or out-of-memory conditions.
  19. A new respondd initscript uses procd to automatically restart respondd when it dies.
  20. * Make autoupdater timeouts more robust (`#987 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/987>`_)
  21. It was reported that wget processes sometimes hang indefinitely during the autoupdater manifest
  22. download. The autoupdater has been improved to ensure that wget can always be interrupted after
  23. a timeout.
  24. This issue, together with the recent addition of lock files to ensure that only one instance
  25. of the autoupdater can run at a time, had caused the autoupdater to blocked completely
  26. by hanging processes in some cases (till a node was rebooted).
  27. * Fix regulation domain switching in ath10k (`#1001 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/1001>`_)
  28. Prevents use of too high transmission power in some cases.
  29. * Ensure that *prefix6* in site.conf is always a /64 prefix (`6b62e2f <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/6b62e2fc788cd1f83f6634288a15724dfc42b0fd>`_)
  30. Other prefix lengths were never supported and don't make sense in many places the prefix is used. Ensure
  31. that such configurations will not pass validation.
  32. Known Issues
  33. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
  34. * Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (`#94 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/94>`_)
  35. Reducing the TX power in the Advanced Settings is recommended.
  36. * 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>`_)
  37. This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promicious mode is disallowed).
  38. * Inconsistent respondd API (`#522 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/522>`_)
  39. The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced eventually. The old API will still be supported for a while.
