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.
