Today, the B.A.T.M.A.N. team releases an update for the 2011.3.0 release which corrects small but crucial bugs introduced within the last release. This is a pure bug fix release without any new features or protocol modifications. Everyone is strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version. As the kernel module always depends on the Linux kernel it was compiled against, it does not make sense to provide binaries on our website. As usual, you will find the signed tarballs in our download section:
http://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/releases/batman-adv-2011.3.1/
as well as prepackaged binaries in your distribution.
Thanks ------
Thanks to all people sending in patches:
* Antonio Quartulli ordex@autistici.org
Special thanks go to:
* TY Wu for isolating / debugging the packet latency bug * Junkeun Song for his help and ideas to find the translation table bugs * Marek Lindner for debugging support and suggestions
batman-adv ----------
The high latency (4-5 times higher than usual) that could be observed when the gateway mode was activated because batman-adv broadcasted all packets instead of sending them via unicast, was fixed. The reported issues with non-mesh clients communicating with other clients have been addressed too: The translation tables were corrupted caused by uninitialized memory and invalid table sizes sent through client announcement mechanism.
batctl ------
batctl remains unchanged.
Happy routing, The B.A.T.M.A.N. team

hallo,
even if the batctl remains unchanged, could you please "update" the packagename to 2011.3.1? I would like to update my openwrtbuildroot-batman-adv-makefile to use the new release but it relies on the same version-string.
greetings,

What do you think would happen when you ask the xorg people to change their tarball names because your Makefile doesn't work?
We already provide a release folder that contains compatible versions of batman-adv and batctl [1]. Maybe you can change your Makefile+scripts to use that folder. Or introduce a (release,) batman-adv and batctl version for a quick workaround.
Kind regards, Sven

I just updated the OpenWrt package. Once you fetched the update you should get batman-adv 2011.3.1 with batctl 2011.3.0.

Yes, this bug (and the bugfix) was the reason why we created the release 2011.3.1. We hope that all fixes will be included in linux 3.1 or another release in from the 3.1.x stable branch.
There seems to be another problem [1] at the moment which wasn't completely analyzed. Therefore, it is unknown whether this is a real batman-adv problem.
Kind regards, Sven
