Feedback from Joe and others to adjust the noise floor (which is lower
for subchannels). Label with SNR because that's easier to compare to the
SNR values people are already familiar with.
* Tidy LQM status
Remove TX Estimate which was duplicating information on the mesh page and
confusing folk.
Sort by name to stop the display jumping around.
* Split out ping and tx qualities and use average of both.
* Improve keeping re-discovered nodes in pending
* Remove .local.mesh from hostname (they're there sometimes)
* Identify why poor quality traffic is blocked
* Link Quality Management experiment (built in)
* Protect LQM pages
* Omit "empty" mac addresses
* Integrate LQM v0.2
Includes proposed UI if this were built-in.
When LQM is enabled (advanced settings) the usual distance inputs are
replaced with "min snr' and "max distance" inputs which are the major
ones you might tweak, as well as a link to the LQM status page.
Other controls are now available (so protected) in advanced settings.
* Improve LQM updating
* Use running snr averages
* Merge app changes
* AREDN-ize the UI
* Improve status language

* Make sure initial page is populated without extra fetch
* Handle empty lqm.info
* Update with latest experiment algorithm changes
* Validate LQM settings before applying them
* Algorithm updates
* Improve quality reporting
* %% -> %
* Default max distance now 50 miles
* Get actual noise if radio will provide it
* low_snr => min_snr
* Dont print node description if we dont have one
* Remove properties duplicated from setup page
* Localize max distance. Miles in GB and US, Kilometers everywhere else.
* Ping link quality testing
* UDP 'ping' for quality check
* Change Active Settings title
* Expand ping test
* Improve messaging
* Add a ping penalty for neighbors which cannot be contacted in a timely manner.
* Remove user_blocks config option. No one needs to use this anymore.
* Localize distances on lqm page
* Improve status reporting
* First run emergency node setup.
When a node first runs LQM, if the default settings fail to connect to
a node we will now adjust them so that at least one node is viable.
* Restore blocking of mac addresses
* LQM now off by default
fixed#47
* Dont display previous neighbors with empty hostnames
* Use IP address when name missing
* Fix bug where missing names became ever growing string of whitespace
* Improve the firmware upgrade process
The old firmware upgrade process attempted to free up RAM by reusing
the 'upgrade_kill_prep' script which is later used by '/sbin/sysupgrade'.
Unfortuantely this doesn't work as intented. While the script will go about
killing various services, 'procd' just goes and starts them up again using
quite a bit more memory in the process. Instead this script just kills
the various daemons 'no questions asked' and then runs the associated
'/etc/init.d/xxx stop' script to instruct 'procd' not the start them up again.
This gets us to the place the original script was trying to go.
+ A syntax fix in '007' patch (need spaces around the [ .. ])
* Inline the style for the firmware page to avoid sleep before flash
* Minor reliability improvements
* Clear away services even earlier
* Final bits of perl replaced by lua
* Use iwinfo during first boot (api I was using fails this early)
* Retry getting phy device (it can fail as the node is booting up)
* Lua vpn server and client pages
* Lua vpn server and client pages
* Fix reporting of daemon restart errors
* Lua olsrd-config
* Fix reversed client/server ip assignments
* Fix patterns for finding active tunnels
/etc/config.mesh/aredn sometimes gets truncated, although reproducing it is difficult. This
is one of the few places this file is mindlessly written to, so instead use cursors to update it.
* Lua Services
* Lua versions of user page (non-admin)
* Support multiple antenna chains
* Improved led detection
* Fix logging
* Add manager.log files to support tool
* Lua versions of user page (non-admin)

fixes#155
* api: add RF IP for non-RF links
Add the RF IP address for non-RF linked devices. This allows the
services to be displayed for non-RF Current Neighbors.
* remove case manipulation
Update the alert banner background color to distinguish it from the
"supported hardware" messages. This makes it look more like a standard
sticky note.
Aliases in NAT mode allows the node admin to create alias names for hosts on the LAN and then use those for creating port forwarding rules. The aliases DO NOT effect the rest of the mesh network and are not propagated via OLSR.
NAT Mode aliases are only usable on the local LAN where the IP addresses are known and routable only on the subnet. Since the NAT hides these IP addresses or the node masquerades, other mesh nodes and devices by definition only know about the node’s hostname. Thus aliases on the LAN in NAT mode are not propagated by OLSR across the mesh. You _CANNOT_ use an alias name in a service listing.
You _will_ be able to set an alternate hostname for any host on the nodes' LAN however.
A host named `CBY45-DELLLAPTOP` can also be known as `wxc-shack-laptop`. It may make remembering which host is which a bit easier.
Since OLSR does not propagate the alias, the "Do Not Propagate" checkbox while in NAT Mode is hidden.
* enhancement: show the "non propagated" hosts as a grey color in the mesh list on the localnode.
This allows for the node admin to see, at a glance, which of the hosts are "hidden" or not.
* changed colors a little bit for the black background styles.
also assed in the aliases so now they will show up as a different color too.
this only effects the mesh listing on the localnode to where the aliases and/or non propagated hosts are.
the rest of the network does not see this.
* add a tooltip to the aliased/non propagated hostnames to help explain what they mean
Allows for aliased hostnames on the mesh. One IP/Host can be assigned to multiple hostnames.
This is useful for many things including virtual hosts, virtual machines, virtual email addresses, etc.
The possibilities are actually _endless_.
Fixes#516
Allows for the node admin to choose to have DHCP leased hostnames/IP's propagated over the rest of the mesh network or not.
Defaults to allowing the hostname/IP to propagate.
The hostname/IP will *still* be resolvable from the localnode and will show up in the list of hosts on the localnode only.
This allows for selected local mesh devices to be not available over the rest of the mesh network.
ie: switches, routers, cameras, etc.
This will work immediately for *new* DHCP leases when the checkbox is selected.
For *existing* DHCP leases, it may take a while for the network to update, if ever.
To speed up the process of full network OLSR "DNS" updating, reboot all the nearest neighbor device(s) to the node you made these changes to.
That seems to get the changes "out" to the rest of the network faster than normal.
Fixes#508
Change the Advanced Configuration warning banner: slightly wider to
distinguish from Alerts banner, add WARNING and make text color pure
white for contrast.
In the US, part 97 ham radio lower band edge is 5650.
Channel 131 @ 10MHz channel width is the lowest channel
setting that stays within allocation.
fixes#550
in the past nodes could be configured uniquely for
a given mode: ap, wifi client, mesh. Current behavior
in basic setup no longer has unique modes, rather wireless
cards can be configured in different modes in basic setup
and devices with multiple wireless interfaces can
be setup to use multiple modes at the same time.

Mesh status will show service entries of a remote mesh
node at the top with 0 ETX value. The owning mesh hostname
displays blank across the mesh network.
The root cause is OLSR not propagating the node's hostname due
to the admin assigning a conflicting/duplicate hostname. These
services will no longer show in mesh status.
* Add experimental support for the GL.iNet GL-AR150 - https://openwrt.org/toh/gl.inet/gl-ar150

Adds additional info for each RF link (tx/rx_rate, noise, signal)
* Removed redundant function.
Removed functions no longer needed.
Reworked getCurrentNeighbor function to add in the additional RF link info if requested.
10MHz channel width is most commonly used. This default
