We're still quite a ways from an AREDN software Release Candidate and there's been many useful updates in the nightly builds. Here's a summary of what's new in the nightly builds (some very cool stuff!)
Added Devices
Mikrotik mANTbox 2 12s
GL.iNet E750
Ubiquiti Litebeam 5AC LR
Enhancements & Fixes
Many reboots needed when saving changes have been removed.
Added support for Wireguard tunnels
Added x86 to SUPPORTED_DEVICES
Ignore tracker entries without IP addresses
Limit buffer size of IPerf3 test to 1K
New supernodes no longer have access to legacy tunnels
Legacy tunnels will be removed from supernodes in the next prod release
NOTE: in the distant future, legacy tunnels will be completely removed. Migrate to Wireguard tunnels now and avoid the rush :-) They’re way better anyway.
Collapsed QEMU and VMWARE VM hardware into two basic types
Validated network override configs
Now hide long time idle neighbors
Fixed PowerBeam 5AC 400 name
Labeled Wireguard tunnels in LQM
Added support for...
Here are the release notes for AREDN production release 3.23.12.0, derived from nightly build 20231018
Enhancements
Added supernode support.
"Supernodes" are specially configured AREDN nodes in various locations which support a "mesh of meshes". With this release your localnode will automatically detect a nearby supernode, if one exists, and will show a new button on the Mesh Status page, labeled "Cloud Mesh". Clicking on that button will take you to the Mesh Status page of that supernode and show you all the nodes and services on the Cloud Mesh. You can navigate to any of them as though they were on your local mesh.
The URL for the supernode map is https://arednmap.xojs.org/ Clicking on any of the node types in the upper-right-hand corner of the map will filter all other nodes out, showing only the types selected.
Remember and reinstall packages after firmware upgrade (AFTER this version is installed)
Simplified search tool
Added LZ77 decompression for Mikrotik firmware, which is now using a different compression method
Cron:
Improved dual radio...

Since the last AREDN software production release, there have been a number of nightly builds, some of which contain significant enhancements. As usual, the AREDN devs would appreciate some helping testing the updates. Here's a list of the most significant ones.
Bill Richardson NG1P presents his views on organizing an AREDN mesh network in Maine at the ARRL Convention in Lewiston, Maine on April 1 and 2, 2022.
