    [1] (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) Device uses the ath10k WLAN driver; no image is built unless GLUON_ATH10K_MESH is set as described in :ref:`getting-started-make-variables`

    brcm2708-bcm2709

    • RaspberryPi 2

    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 and urlescape 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 and next_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.

    Other changes

    • The "Expert Mode" has been renamed to "Advanced Settings"

    Site changes

    site.mk

    If you want to support ath10k-based devices, you should set GLUON_ATH10K_MESH and GLUON_REGION as described in :ref:`getting-started-make-variables`.

    i18n

    As the hostname field may now contain an arbitrary UTF-8 string, escaping must be added.

    Change

    <%=hostname%>

    to

    <%=escape(hostname)%>

    Inside of URLs, urlescape must be used instead of escape.

    Internals

    • Mesh interfaces are now configured in a protocol-independent way in UCI (#870)

      The MAC address assignment of all mesh and WLAN interfaces has been modified to prepare for support of Ralink/Mediatek-based WLAN chips.

    • Preparations for supporting the new batman-adv multicast optimizations have been made (#674, #675, #679)

    • All Lua code is minified now to save some space

    Known Issues

    • Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (#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)

      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)

      The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced eventually. The old API will still be supported for a while.
