-Jul 17th, 2018. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the July 2018 update to batman-adv, batctl and alfred! This release drops the support for Linux versions before v3.16 (oldest non-EOL Linux kernel). This makes it possible again to build the kernel in-source without the extra "build/" directory. debugfs is no longer enabled in the standard build configuration but B.A.T.M.A.N. V will be build by default. The later was also modified to no longer accept the ethtool specific link speeds to virtual interfaces - a requirement in the future for the tpmeter based link speed detection of VPN links. The multicast optimization is now more robust and will no longer disable itself when a node without the multicast optimization feature is detected. Also several bugfixes and code cleanups are included in this version. +Aug 27th, 2018. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the August 2018 update to batman-adv, batctl and alfred! TODO

As the kernel module always depends on the Linux kernel it is 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:
