    Bugfixes
    --------
    
    - x86: fix config loss during direct upgrades from v2021.1.x to v2023.1.x  (`#2972 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2972>`_)
    
    - tunneldigger: fix regression in v2023.1 caused by a always failing watchdog script resulting in endless restarts (`#2987 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2987>`_)
    
    - tunneldigger: fix regression in v2023.1 with DNS lookups not using the wan-dnsmasq (`#3001 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/3001>`_)
    
    - gluon-wan-dnsmasq: fix regression in v2023.1 with restart handling and disable DNS caching on the WAN side (`#2991 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2991>`_)
    
    - D-Link DIR-860L B1: fix regression in v2023.1 that prevented direct upgrades from v2021.1.x to v2023.1.x (`#2990 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2990>`_)
    
    - Fix build issues with groff 1.23.0+ on the build host (`#3001 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/3001>`_)
    
    
    Known issues
    ------------
    
    * 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 without 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).
    
    * EFI only systems won't boot due to removed EFI support (introduced in v2023.1). This was necessary to work around a bug that
      causes a config loss during direct upgrades from v2021.1.x to v2023.1.x with the *x86-64*, *x86-generic* and *x86-legacy* targets
      (`#2967 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/2967>`_).
    
      It is planned that the next major release will reintroduce EFI support.
