v2020.1.3.rst

Gluon 2020.1.3

Bugfixes

• Fixes a bug in musl which can lead to spurious crashes in fastd and other programs, which alternate between single- and multi-threaded operation. (#2029)
• Fixes a regression which led to around 2.5 MiB higher memory usage for ar71xx-tiny and ramips-rt305x targets. While this decreases the memory usage, the image will become around 64KiB larger. (#2032)
• Fixes a bug which can cause the TP-Link TL-MR3020 v1 to become stuck in failsafe mode.

Other changes

• Linux kernel has been updated to 4.14.180

Known issues

• High chance of ending in a soft-bricked state for Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X. Workaround is to repeat initial installation using the serial console. (#1937)

• Out of memory situations with high client count on ath9k. (#1768)

• The integration of the BATMAN_V routing algorithm is incomplete.

  • Mesh neighbors don't appear on the status page. (#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)

    This affects virtual interface types like bridges and VXLAN.

• 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 promiscuous 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.
