Bugfixes
Fix boot on certain QCA955x-based devices (e.g. OpenMesh OM5P AC v2) (#965)
This issue was a regression in Gluon v2016.2.1.
Build: Fix git downloads from git.kernel.org on Debian Wheezy (#919)
We’ve switched back from HTTPS to the git protocol for now to avoid using the old GnuTLS version of Debian Wheezy which can’t establish a HTTPS connection with git.kernel.org anymore.
This issue was a regression in Gluon v2016.2.
Fix RX filter of Ubiquiti UAP Outdoor+ (d43147a8e03d)
This issue was a regression in Gluon v2016.2.
Fix switched WAN/LAN interface assignment on CPE210 (59deb2064d54)

Fix next-node ebtables rules without next_node.ip4 (9dbe9f785d2b)
Gluon v2016.2 added support for using the next-node feature without specifying an IPv4 address. Some scripts had not been adjusted, making the next-node unreliable when no IPv4 address was specified.
Other changes
x86-generic and x86-64 images now have PATA and MMC support to allow using them on various devices that were previously unsupported.
Clean up opkg postinst scripts up on image generation
OpenWrt does this by default to save a little space.
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.
