Great news:
SAn TAGGED A RELEASE CANDIDATE FOR THE LIBREMESH 20.09 RELEASE!!
Even if the LibreMesh development never stopped, it was since the 17.06
"Dayboot Rely" release that we didn't have an _official_ release.
The goal is to have the **final release at the beginning of November**.
This means that the release candidate needs testing, bug fixing and
loads of community love before the end of October, so that we can have
an amazing release that can actually ease the creation of community
networks everywhere :)
We can coordinate the efforts on this mailing list and on the
IRC/Element chatroom (Element is the new name of Riot chat):
https://libremesh.org/communication.html
Seems that the next release will be (at least initially) source-only,
which means that you will have to compile it yourself on top of OpenWrt
18.06.8 or 19.07.4. Right now there's no way to download the
pre-compiled binary, but I hope this will be available at some point.
In order to compile the release candidate follow the instructions from
the Development page:
https://libremesh.org/development.html
As you can see in the compiling instructions, both OpenWrt 18.06.8 or
19.07.4 can be used as a base, but I think we should have more testing
on the newest 19.07.4 (until now the testing has been focussed mostly on
18.06.8).
There's no need to select the release candidate branch for the
compilation, seems that the master branch will be used also for the
testing and the relevant commits will be cherry-picked in November (SAn,
please correct if I'm wrong).
You can see the known issues on the tickets list:
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues
And if you want to take care of an issue (thanks!!!), please have a look
at these lists where you can find some indication of the priority:
https://github.com/orgs/libremesh/projects/2
A last thing:
do we need a codename for the release or "20.09" is enough?
Propose your favourite name, starting with the "E" letter if possible,
on the chatroom and then we'll organise a poll :)
Thanks!!!

Hi Ilario,
I have one small question about this release candidate thing:
Where is the possibility to pick a branch for lime?
I found anything in the description.
...and is there already a name? ;-)
best regards,
Andy

You mean, to select a branch for compiling the LibreMesh code from a
specific branch?
You should add the branch after a semicolon ";" in the feeds.conf file,
something like:
src-git libremesh
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages.git;yourBranchHere
for example there is a "20.09" branch, which is currently freeze to the
code from one week ago but will be updated once we have the release, I
suppose.
If it was not this, what did you mean?
...and is there already a name? ;-)
Nope!
Nobody proposed any!!!!!!
As the 16.07 name was starting with CC (Community Chaos), and the 17.06
was starting with DR (Dayboot Rely, the R was because it was based on
LEDE Reboot) the next release should be starting with EE (if we actually
want a name), something like:
Eeriest Eel
Entropic Empathy
Electromotive Effort
Euphoric Egg
Extended Erection
Enlarging Equipment
Eccentric Enough
Eclectic Electron
Embedded Enthusiasm
Equator Envy
Emitting Emoticons
Embracing Euphoria
Entrusting Echoes
Evergreen Energy
Everyday Evil
Elegant Eclipse
Ciao!

Hi everyone!
We have released the third release candidate
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/releases/tag/v20.09-rc.3
This release has multiple fixes from the last weeks. Thank you all for the testing and
reporting work!
Please test :) If no big issues are found we will do the final release next week,
collectively named Expansive Emancipation :)
We will try to do more frequent releases in the future.
Best!
