Gluon 2018.1.1

Bugfixes

  • Fix a bug leading to configuration loss on upgrade under certain circumstances (#1496)

    The issue can only occur when upgrading from 2018.1 and there are multiple mirror entries in site.conf (specifically, an early failure for one of the mirrors, e.g. during DNS resolution, followed by a successful upgrade from a different mirror triggers the issue).

    This is a regression in Gluon 2018.1.

  • Fix next-node ARP issue (#1488)

    A routing table issue led to ARP requests being sent from the next-node IPv4 address, but with a node-specific source MAC address. This could make the next-node IPv4 address unreachable.

    This is a regression in Gluon 2018.1.

  • Fix build on hosts with glibc 2.28

    Fixed by various tool upgrades in LEDE (bison, e2fsutils, …)

Other changes

  • Linux kernel has been updated to v4.4.148

Known issues

  • 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 specially 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.
