Hello everybody,

we just released the fourth revision of the 0.5.6 stable. The tarballs  
are at http://www.olsr.org/releases/0.5/
This release fixes many bugs reported from the wifi communities and  
networks out there.
We appreciate your bug reports! Special thanks go to Henning Rogge and  
Markus Kittenberger for countless hours of bughunting and fixing. The  
next weeks and months will be more 0.5.7 coding.
And here is the Changeset...

PATCHES, BUGFIXES and TESTING features from Markus Kittenberger:
- NEW: allow configuration of OLSR UDP port
- NEW: allow configuration of proto Tag for Routes (RtProto)
- NEW: add fallback policy rule (priority 65536) if RtTable is used,
to ensure that routes can be added to this table
- NEW: resolve many error conditions while adding routes to the linux  
kernel
(Warning this will also delete any conflicting routes made by other
routing daemons or admins)
- NEW: interface modes mesh (default) and ether (no retransmit of olsr-
messages back into a broadcastdomain)

BSD, OS X)
- FIX: several compiler warnings
- FIX: olsr_times() to handle different OS implementations (Linux,

- WORKAROUND: generate routes to single hop neighbours on the fly when
inserting routes via them
(active only with fib_metric=flat)

- TEST: syslog numbering (e.g. useful to detect lost syslog messages  
when
using remote-syslog)
