-Aug 1th, 2019. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the August 2019 update to batman-adv, batctl and alfred! The multicast optimization got support for group-aware optimizations for multicast addresses of scope greater than link-local. batctl was adjusted to handle such information and packets in various subcommands. Also support for hardif (aka. slave interface) specific settings was implemented. This required a change in how meshif and vlans are specified for subcommands. Instead of using "-m" for both meshif and vlans (and now hardifs), they were splitted into special subcommand prefixes: - -* <code>meshif <netdev></code> -* <code>vlan <vdev></code> -* <code>meshif <netdev> vid <vid></code> -* <code>hardif <netdev></code> - -To start a ping on bat2, following command should be used: - -<pre> -$ batctl meshif bat2 ping 02:ba:de:af:fe:01 -</pre> - -As usual, this release also contains various bugfixes and code cleanups. +Sep 23th, 2019. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the September 2019 update to batman-adv, batctl and alfred! The B.A.T.M.A.N. V implementation can now aggregate OGM2 messages into single messages before sending them out. As usual, this release also contains various bugfixes and code cleanups.

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:
