Nightly Build Status 21 Sep 2023


Since the last AREDN  software production release, there have been a number of nightly builds, some of which contain significant enhancements.  As usual, the AREDN devs would appreciate some helping testing the updates.    Here's a list of the most significant ones.

  • If you're planning on buying a new Mikrotik device, you'll need to install a recent nightly build on it.  Mikrotik has changed their code's compression algorithm, and the AREDN code has been modified to accommodate it and allow successful software installations.
  • The Search function has been streamlined
  • An installable cron package has been added for people who need more functionality than the built-in cron support
  • If you've downloaded and added extra packages to a node, after updating to the latest nightly build, later builds will remember those packages and download and reinstall the correct versions for you.
  • Support for wildcard DNS entries has been added.  This was done to support installing Sandstorm on a local computer.  Sandstorm is an "app support platform" that lets you install and offer out over 70 web-based apps  to your local AREDN community.   It could be an excellent local support tool. [Note that any potential user of the Sandstorm platform will need to have a currently nightly build on their localnode].

Hamvention 2023 Recap





Thank you to all who visited us at Hamvention 2023 in Xenia, Ohio this past weekend. We enjoyed seeing you, listening to your success stories and answering your questions.

Orv W6BI gave a well-attended presentation on Saturday. Some of his past presentations are available on YouTube. Just search for Orv W6BI to find them.

A very special thanks to our local hosts and support team, Chuck NC8Q and Bill WA8APD. They were instrumental in setting up our booth. Chuck also provided access to the Miami Valley AREDN network to demonstrate live streaming video and VoIP telephony. Bill hoisted our AREDN banner high overhead so that it could be seen from most of the building. Thanks to to Kiley KD8DRX who answered a lot of questions in the booth on Friday.

We also experienced one of the rarest Hamvention weather conditions ever - no rain during Hamvention show hours during all three days! 

Thanks from the AREDN Hamvention team,
Randy WU2S

2) There are 2 identified issues so far on Rocket M5 XW and Nanostation M5 XW devices still being worked.
3) Many models do not yet have any know testing to confirm all is working.
