-July 26th, 2017. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the July 2017 update to batman-adv, batctl and alfred! This release introduces various improvements in alfred's master server selection code. It will reduce the CPU load on meshes with many master servers by rating multiple servers at once instead of each server separately. batman-adv is now trying harder to avoid the special bridge loop avoidance mac addresses in its translation table. Also minor bugfixes and code cleanups are included in this version. +Sep 19th, 2017. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the September 2017 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:
