Hi,
The 0.2 release will be fully backward compatible to 0.1.1 and above. That enables you to use the stable branch for most of your network and try 0.2 alpha on test machines.
sorry - little mistake here. 0.1.1 ist *not* compatible with 0.1.2 and above. If you intend to test 0.2 in your network you have to upgrade all your hosts to 0.1.2. The Big Endian / Little Endian support causes the incompability (every packet is sent in Host Byte Order). The result is that batman can't do the ranking because the counter gets never higher than 1:
172.28.4.3, GW: 172.28.4.3(1) via: 172.28.4.3(1)
