Gluon 2020.1.1
This is the first service release for the Gluon 2020.1.x line, fixing regressions reported by the community.
Bugfixes
- Fixed non-working LEDs on TP-Link Archer C5 v1 and Archer C7 v2 after an upgrade to Gluon 2020.1.
- Fixed an issue which leads to AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 450E devices being stuck in failsafe mode after an upgrade to Gluon 2020.1.
Other changes
- Linux kernel has been updated to 4.14.171
Known issues
-
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.
-
Frequent reboots due to out-of-memory or high load due to memory pressure on weak hardware especially in larger meshes (#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.
-
High chance of ending in a soft-bricked state for Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X. Workaround is to repeat initial installation using the serial console. (#1937)
