AREDN Release Notes 3.23.4.0
Summary
There have been over 140 nightly releases of the AREDN codebase since the last production release in December 2022. Here are the highlights:
Major Enhancements
- Support for the ‘AC’ class of radio[2]
- Improved service validation
- Improved WiFi scanning
- Better error feedback for future upgrades
- Hidden and Exposed node handling[3]
- Enhance AP and WiFi Client channel selection
- Support for easier “nightly build” testing
- Upgraded to OpenWRT 22.03.3; the latest release of OpenWRT with many security and bug fixes.
- Upgraded to Linux kernel 5.10.161
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Because of changes in the way OpenWRT names devices, this upgrade is not simple to revert without reinstalling your node as if you just took it out of the box.

Automated Mesh Map
Our resident network mapper and AREDN developer Eric KG6WXC just published a page describing his mapping program. His Automated Mesh Map allows hobbyists who have experience in Linux/Apache/SQL to collaborate while gaining metrics in their desired nodes. It has a become a “go to” tool for monitoring the status of the networks. Groups who start setting up their own AREDN Networks also get a copy of the map to monitor their progress.
You can get all the details on his page at SkySilk Cloud Services User Spotlight.
