Hello everybody, after a long release cycle (almost one year) the B.A.T.M.A.N. team is proud to announce the release of: - batman 0.3 stable - vis server 0.3 stable - batman advanced kernelland 0.1 beta
We used the Wireless Community Weekend 2008 in the c-Base to release our newest version. Here are the main features in brief: batman 0.3: - TQ based routing algorith to overcome BATMAN III limitations - policy routing (see: http://open-mesh.net/batman/doc/RoutingVodoo) - policy routing script to fully control the routing table (see: http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/useful-scripts-and-tools/policy_routing_script.sh) - tunneling rewritten (only UDP based, blackhole detection and kernel module batgat for performance boosting) - parameters can be changed at runtime (routing_class, gateway_class, hna, preferred gateway) - routing_class support 4 different settings (see: http://open-mesh.net/batman/doc/InternetTuning) - interface watchdog (interfaces can be (de)activated dynamically) - packet aggregation (experimental) - official IANA port 4035 is used - RFC draft published batman advanced kernelland: - layer 2 meshing based on BATMAN TQ algorithm in kernelland - operates on any ethernet like interface - supports IPv4, IPv6, DHCP, etc - is controlled via /proc/net/bvatman-adv/ - bridging via brctl is supported - interface watchdog (interfaces can be (de)activated dynamically) - offers integrated vis server which meshes/syncs with other vis servers in range The latest version of batman layer 3 obsoletes batman 0.2 which is not supported anymore. The current version (batman 0.3) is the stable version from now on. Even though a version 0.4 might emerge we will continue supporting 0.3 for a long time period with security fixes and stability patches. Download our code and have fun ! :-) Greetings, Marek
