The recently introduced data= =20 distribution daemon 'alfred' received quite some attention and gained n= ew=20 features. As the kernel module always depends on the Linux kernel it wa= s=20 compiled against, it does not make sense to provide binaries on our web= site.=20 As usual, you will find the signed tarballs in our download section: http://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/releases/batman-adv-2013.4.0/ as well as prepackaged binaries in your distribution. Thanks ------ Thanks to all people sending in patches: * Andrew Lunn * Antonio Quartulli * Linus L=FCssing * Marco Dalla Torre * Marek Lindner * Matthias Schiffer * Simon Wunderlich * Sven Eckelmann * Wedson Almeida Filho batman-adv ---------- With this release comes a fix for a kernel crash running on hardware wi= th=20 specific Ethernet chips triggering a rare code path when forwarding tra= ffic. A fix=20 for the network coding initialization was submitted to allow to create=20= multiple batX interfaces when this feature has been included in the mod= ule.=20 The bridge loop avoidance now correctly handles VLAN tags (a regression= =20 introduced with the previous release). Additional Linux kernel backward= =20 compatibility code enables batman-adv to run on various kernel versions= . batctl ------ The incorrectly reported TCP payload length in the tcpdump component wa= s fixed.=20 The hyphens in the manpage were properly escaped to be groff compliant.= C types=20 and error handling were improved to better handle some error cases. alfred ------ In order to allow a mesh topology visualization with true geographic la= yout=20 alfred was enriched with a location service based on libgpsd. In additi= on to=20 retrieving the location via GPS on mobile nodes alfred can be configure= d with a=20 static location on stationary nodes to be announced in the network.=20 A new JSON output format for the vis service was added. The newly added= format=20 is JSON compliant throughout an entire message, in contrast to the "leg= acy"=20 per-line JSON output. Alfred also learned to be tolerant to=20 vanishing/reappearing interfaces and to switch its operation mode=20 (slave/master) without the need for a restart or losing cached informat= ion. To=20 avoid conflicts in distributions with other "vis" binaries (like the ba= tmand=20 vis), the binary was renamed to "batadv-vis". Manpages have been added = to help=20 documenting the growing functionality. Also various code/build system c= leanups=20 and bugfixes have been integrated.
