The development group [0] of LUGRo-Mesh [1] announces that already
it's available the new release of the firmware Nightwing [2], version
0.7 [3].

Those with an active node, please upgrade.


*About Nightwing*
Nightwing allows the creation of Wireless Mesh Networks [4], with a
fast and easy deployment. Requires an Atheros wireless chip, and a
minimum of 4MB of flash memory and 16MB of RAM memory. It can be
instaled in devices from Ubiquiti like the NanoStation or the Bullet,
from Accton like the Fonera 2200, and many more devices that cover the
minimun requirements.

In this new release some changes where made to improve the
functioning,it has been added a page for administration and reporting
via web which will allow firmware upgrade for future versions so much
easier. Now also includes services of traffic shaping, connection
control and it also has been made improvements to security.

For more information about the changes, see the ChangeLog [5]:

The group has mailing lists for the Nightwing firmware [6] and for the
group it self [7].


*About the Release and the installation method*
To install this release, one of the following methods should be used:
     * Flashing through MTD [8]
     * Flashing through TFTP [9]

And then with nw_conf from within the node, make the settings again
(passwords, antenna mode, etc).

If installing from a new device, refer to the documentation available
at the project site [10].
