Please refrain from using the `master` branch for anything else but development purposes!
Use the most recent release instead. You can list all releases by running `git tag`
and switch to one by running `git checkout v2020.2.2 && make update`.
and switch to one by running `git checkout v2020.2.3 && make update`.

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 2020.2.3
==============

Bugfixes
--------

- LEDs on the ASUS RT-AC51 are now fully functional.

- Netgear EX6150v1 randomly booting into failsafe mode has been fixed.
This happened dependant on the state of the mode setting switch.

- Dnsmasq has been patched against multiple security issues in its DNS response validation.
See the OpenWrt advisory at https://openwrt.org/advisory/2021-01-19-1


Other changes
-------------

- Linux kernel has been updated to 4.14.224
- batman-adv fixes were backported from its 2021.0 release
- OpenSSL has been updated to 1.1.1k

Known issues
------------

* Upgrading EdgeRouter-X from versions before v2020.1.x may lead to a soft-bricked state due to bad blocks on the
NAND flash which the NAND driver before this release does not handle well.
(`#1937 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1937>`_)

* The integration of the BATMAN_V routing algorithm is incomplete.

- Mesh neighbors don't appear on the status page. (`#1726 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1726>`_)
Many tools have the BATMAN_IV metric hardcoded, these need to be updated to account for the new throughput
metric.
- Throughput values are not correctly acquired for different interface types.
(`#1728 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1728>`_)
This affects virtual interface types like bridges and VXLAN.

* 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.

* In configurations not using VXLAN, 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 promiscuous mode is
disallowed).
