DRAFT: Batman-adv 2025.0 released

Feb 4th, 2025. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the February 2025 update to batman-adv! batctl got support for subsecond ping intervals. To reduce the size of OGMs, VLAN 0 is now handled as "untagged VLAN" and announced TT changes have less redundant modifications listed. batman-adv's OGM translation table changes parser also fixed a regression from 2024.4. Several bug fixes and code cleanups are included in this version.

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:
