New features
-
Many UBNT Airmax XM model names are detected correctly now (e.g., the Loco is no longer displayed as Bullet) (#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)
-
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) -
PoE passthrough can now be configured from site.conf and the Advanced Settings on TP-Link CPE 210/510 and Ubiquiti NanoStations (#328)
-
The config mode altitude field can now be hidden using the
config_mode.geo_location.show_altitude
site.conf setting (#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)
-
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
andurlescape
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 has been updated to a newer version, enabling new SSH crypto methods and removing some old ones like DSA. This reduces the time needed for the first boot and makes SSH logins faster (#223)
-
WLAN basic and supported rate sets have been made configurable, to allow disabling 802.11b rates (#810)
-
ath10k-based devices are now supported officially; it's possible to choose between IBSS- and 11s-capable firmwares in site.mk (#864)
-
The
prefix4
andnext_node.ip4
site.conf options are optional now.
Bugfixes
-
The stability of the ath9k WLAN driver has been improved significantly (#605)
mac80211, hostapd and other related drivers and services have been backported from LEDE
42f559e
. -
Extremely slow downloads could lead to multiple instances of the autoupdater running concurrently (#582)
A lockfile is used to prevent this and timeouts have been added to download processes.
-
Usage of static DNS servers on the WAN port has been fixed (#886)
This is a regression introduced in Gluon v2016.1.6.
