AREDN production release 4.26.1.0
AREDN production release 4.26.1.0 is now available
This release is the first AREDN production release that omits the legacy OLSR protocol, and consequently the first release with the major number 4. That may sound scary, but if all your local nodes are on 3.25.5.0 or greater, they already speak Babel. That means a migration to this production release should pretty much be a non-event for your network.
If you are upgrading to 4.26.1.0 from a babel nightly build, you may see the following message:
BEWARE: Downgrading firmware WILL result in a broken or incomplete node configuration.
This can be safely ignored during this upgrade.
Major Features
- Babel only routing. OLSR is no longer available.
