In regards to incompatibility with pre-2014.0.0 versions; will 2013.4.0 branch have any continued support with patches or even updated version or any support pre-2014.0.0 is not expected or planed ?

Important changes
*Compatibility break*: In 2011, batman-adv broke backward compatibility with the introduction of the translation table mechanism. Since then, interests have been divided between those who wish a stable network with as little changes as possible and those who wish to experiment with new features to bring meshing to the next level. To accommodate both groups the batman-adv developers dedicated a lot of effort on building code infrastructure allowing to mix stable nodes with new features without breaking compatibility. This new system is incompatible to the pre-2014.0.0 versions, but it has been designed to stay compatible with future versions for the next decade or so.
At the same time, the legacy visualization support was removed from the kernel module. The alfred user space module provides an adequate replacement.
Thanks
