    ==============
    
    Bugfixes
    ~~~~~~~~
    
    * Fix a bug leading to configuration loss on upgrade under certain circumstances
      (`#1496 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1496>`_)
    
      The issue can only occur when upgrading from 2018.1 and there are multiple
      mirror entries in *site.conf* (specifically, an early failure for one of the
      mirrors, e.g. during DNS resolution, followed by a successful upgrade from a
      different mirror triggers the issue).
    
      This is a regression in Gluon 2018.1.
    
    * Fix next-node ARP issue
      (`#1488 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1488>`_)
    
      A routing table issue led to ARP requests being sent from the next-node IPv4 address, but with
      a node-specific source MAC address. This could make the next-node IPv4 address unreachable.
    
      This is a regression in Gluon 2018.1.
    
    * Fix build on hosts with glibc 2.28
    
      Fixed by various tool upgrades in LEDE (*bison*, *e2fsutils*, ...)
    
    Other changes
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Linux kernel has been updated to v4.4.148
    
    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.
    
    * Frequent reboots due to out-of-memory or high load due to memory pressure on weak hardware specially in larger meshes
      (`#1243 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1243>`_)
    
      Optimizations in Gluon 2018.1 have significantly improved memory usage.
      There are still known bugs leading to unreasonably high load that we hope to
      solve in future releases.
