Steps towards the release of qMp v3.0
During this week we've performed some important steps towards the release of qMp v3.0, codenamed Clearance.
During the last months, many users have demanded a "stable" release of qMp, so that they could flash their devices and forget about updating them every now and then with the latest firmware compilation. In addition, since some weeks ago, the "testing" branch seemed to be stable enough, with the most popular devices tested to work. For these reasons, today we've frozen "testing" branch and moved it to "master".
The previous release, that was almost one year old, has been moved to a branch called "v2-ratafia". During this time qMp and BMX6 have evolved a lot, so the previous "master" branch was mainly deprecated.
qMp v3 Clearance is in RC1. As usually, precompiled images will be available at http://fw.qmp.cat (targets will be appearing in the following hours). Please, feel free to test it and give us any suggestions.
Wireless Battle of the Mesh v7
The "Wireless Battle of the Mesh" is an event that aims to bring together people from across the globe to test the performance of different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, OLSR, and 802.11s. Of course, new protocols (working on OpenWRT) are always welcome!
This year, version 7 of the event will take place from Monday 12th till Sunday 18th of May at the sublab (http://sublab.org/) in Leipzig, Germany.
The qMp team endorses and supports the Battle of the Mesh v7 because of the efforts made by its community to advance the field of wireless mesh networking and foster the development of grassroots community networks.
The qMp project will support the event by:
- coming to the event and convince others to do the same
- help to set up the testbed and analyze measurement results
- give talks about advancement of our system and it's usage in communities
Many other communities endorse and support the Wireless Battle of The Mesh v7, an up to date list of the endorsers of the Battlemesh v7 can be found at the main Battlemesh website: http://battlemesh.org.
