The B.A.T.M.A.N. team is proud to announce its final milestone in 2011,=20
2011.4.0, concentrating on the stabilization & bug fixing of the recent=20
protocol changes and adding some smaller features . As the kernel module=20
always depends on the Linux kernel it was compiled against, it does not mak=
e=20
sense to provide binaries on our website. As usual, you will find the signe=
d=20
tarballs in our download section:=20

http://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/releases/batman-adv-2011.4.0/=20

as well as prepackaged binaries in your distribution.

batman-adv
=2D---------

Above all, the 2011.4.0 milestone centers around polishing the protocol=20
changes introduced with the previous release. Non-mesh clients connected vi=
a a=20
wireless interface are marked as such. This information is then propagated =
in=20
the mesh on top of the new non-mesh client infrastructure and can be used t=
o=20
prevent mesh wide wireless client to wireless client communication (on=20
standard WiFi AccessPoints this feature is known as 'AP isolation'). The no=
n-
mesh client status flags (new/delete/purge/roaming/wireless) are exported t=
o=20
user space as part of the translation table output to allow following a=20
client's status closely.
The coming releases will be escorted by a stepwise inclusion of an improved=
=20
version of our routing algorithm. It will be possible to switch between the=
=20
current protocol and the new protocol at runtime in order to make testing a=
s=20
easy as possible. This first stage prepared the existing routing algorithm=
=20
code for the upcoming feature for switching routing protocols. No changes t=
o=20
the routing code behavior have been included.
A couple of translation table bugs have been squashed: memory leaks in the=
=20
translation table, wrong initialization of ethernet addresses of translatio=
n=20
table entries and a kernel crash on module unload. Numerous spelling mistak=
es=20
in the source code comments were corrected.


batctl
=2D-----

batctl received an option to turn on/off the aforementioned mesh wide AP=20
isolation. When called with '-v' batctl will not only print its own version=
=20
but also the batman-adv kernel module version (requires the module to be=20
loaded). The log level section was rewritten, so that it now expects human=
=20
readable log level definitions instead of digits and bitmasks. Also fixed w=
as=20
the mangled tcpdump output of the CRC value in translation table exchange=20
packets.


Happy routing,=20
