Changelog 17.06
* based on LEDE 17.01.2 * build everything using LEDE SDK, via new lime-sdk cooker (instead of lime-build) * use ieee80211s instead of adhoc * reintroduced "firewall" package (to keep closer to upstream) * lime-system: fix ieee80211s proto, correctly construct ifnames * lime-system: sanitize hostname (transform everything into alphanumeric and dash) * lime-system: new proto static * lime-system: new wifi mode client * lime-system: set dnsmasq force=1 to ensure dnsmasq never bails out * lime-system: explicitly populate /etc/config/lime with calculated values * lime-webui: enable i18n, finally webinterface is available in Spanish * lime-webui: Major rework by NicoPace, thanks! * bmx6 node graph now uses colors in a clever way * simple way to add "system notes" that are shown along with /etc/banner and webui * luci-app-lime-location: fix google maps api key * new read-only view: switch ports status * alert luci-mod-admin users that their changes might get overwritten by lime-config * fix batman-adv status webui * new package available to install lighttpd instead of uhttpd (needed for an upcoming android app) * added a lime-sysupgrade command: does a sysupgrade but only preserving libremesh configuration file * added a lime-apply command: basically calls reload_config, but also applies hostname system-wide without rebooting * lime-hwd-ground-routing: ground routing now supports untagged ports too * lime-proto-anygw: unique mac based on ap_ssid (using %N1, %N2) * lime-proto-anygw: integrate better into /etc/config/dhcp instead of /etc/dnsmasq.d/ * lime-proto-wan: allow link-local traffic over wan (useful for local ping6 and ssh, without global exposure) * lime-proto-batadv: set batadv gw_mode=client by default to counteract rogue DHCP servers * lime-proto-bmx6: introduce bmx6_pref_gw option, adds priority (x10) to a specific bmx6 gateway * lime-proto-bmx6: don't tag bmx6 packets over ethernet and so use at least mtu=1500 everywhere * lime-proto-bmx6: avoid autodetected wan interface use vlan for bmx6 * bmx6: doesn't flood log with some spurious warnings anymore (syslog=0) * bmx6: sms plugin now enabled by default * bmx6: daemon is now supervised by procd, so it is restarted in case of crashes * bmx6: doesn't "configSync" by default anymore (no more "uci pending changes" because of auto-gw-mode) * new bmx6hosts tool: maintain an /etc/hosts that resolves fd66: <-> hostnames.mesh * watchping: convert to procd and add reload triggers * safe-reboot: fix, use /overlay/upper instead of /overlay * safe-reboot: add "discard" action * ath9k: debugged some hangs (interface is deaf) and workaround it, with new package "smonit" * set wifi default "distance" parameter to 1000 metres and make it configurable through webui * alfred: fix bat-hosts facter, check for errors and don't nuke /etc/bat-hosts in case of failure * introduce new lime-basic-noui metapackage * new packages separated: lime-docs and lime-docs-minimal * various Makefile dependency problems fixed
Changelog 16.07
- Based on OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1
- Removed "firewall" package (which is included by default in vanilla OpenWrt/LEDE), since it's not really being used in LibreMesh setup. It can always be installed on a case-by-case basis using opkg.
- Removed "odhcpd" since we're not using it at the moment (we use dnsmasq)
- Removed "odhcp6c" since we're not using it at the moment (we still haven't solved how to deal with native IPv6 coming over WAN, i.e. propagate a delegated prefix over the mesh in a reasonable way)
- New default packages: "lime-hwd-openwrt-wan" and "lime-proto-wan". This checks if there's a WAN port, and automatically configures as "wan" proto (lime-proto-wan). The "wan" proto let's you assign in /etc/config/lime, for example, 802.1ad VLANs over the WAN port.
- New default package: "lime-hwd-ground-routing". Allows you to configure 802.1q VLANs on embedded switches, so that you can separate specific ports and put
- New default package: "bmx6-auto-gw-mode", so that when a node detects (with watchping) it can ping 8.8.8.8 over WAN port, a bmx6 tunIn is created on-the-fly, and Internet is shared to the rest of the clouds.
- Workaround for an spurious log message caused by BATMAN-Adv ("br-lan: received packet on bat0 with own address as source address"): a "dummy0" interface is created and added to bat0, with a slightly different MAC address
- New available packages: "lime-proto-bgp", allows to do BGP with bird daemon; and "lime-proto-olsr", "-olsr2" and "-olsr6", which add support for all versions of OLSR.
- Some new settings possible in /etc/config/lime-defaults
- wireless.htmode lets you preset the htmode for any wireless radio (or htmode_2ghz and htmode_5ghz for specific bands)
- wireless.distance is the equivalent, for setting distance (and distance_2ghz / _5ghz)
