    Bugfixes
    ~~~~~~~~
    
    * build: fix nodejs host build on Debian Wheezy (`#776 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/776>`_)
    * build: fix parallel builds with Make 4.2+
    
      Trying to use ``-j N`` with Make 4.2 would spawn an unlimited number of processes,
      eventually leading to memory exhaustion.
    
    * build: fix occasional build failure in libpcap package
    * build: don't require hexdump for x86 builds (`#811 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/811>`_)
    
      Trying to build Gluon for x86 on systems without hexdump would silently generate
      broken images.
    
    * Add support for DNS servers given by their link-local IPv6 address in Router Advertisements
      (`#854 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/854>`_)
    
    * ar71xx-generic: correctly setup LNA GPIOs on CPE210/510 (`#796 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/796>`_)
    
      Improves the reception by about 20dB.
    
    * ar71xx-generic: switch default WAN/LAN assignment on Ubiquiti UAP Pro
      (`#764 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/764>`_)
    
      Switch to the usual "PoE is WAN/setup mode, secondary is LAN" scheme. This only affects
      new installations; the assignment won't be changed on updates unless the configuration is
      reset.
    
    * ar71xx-generic: fix ath10k memory leak (`#690 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/690>`_)
    * ar71xx-generic: add support for new TP-Link region codes
      (`#860 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/860>`_)
    
      TP-Link has started providing US- and EU-specific firmwares for the Archer C7 v2. To generate
      Gluon images installable from these new firmwares, the ``GLUON_REGION`` variable must be set
      to ``eu`` or ``us`` in ``site.mk`` or on the ``make`` command line (the images will still be
      installable from all old firmwares without region codes).
    
    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 Expert Mode 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.
