Kamikaze 7.09, September 2007
========================

  This marks the third official release of Kamikaze.

  What's new in Kamikaze?

  Build system.
    Our build system (aka buildroot) has been completely rewritten since the
    whiterussian releases. There's tons of new packages, and adding support
    for new packages has never been easier.

  Platforms.
    There are 10 supported architectures listed below, with support for many
    more in progress. Almost all of these platforms are based on 2.6 kernels
    with the exception of Broadcom -- Sorry; we couldn't get a stable wifi
    connection on 2.6.

  Configuration.
    We've made a radical change and tossed away NVRAM based configuration
    in favor of a much more robust set of config files. 

Changes since Kamikaze 7.07
---------------------------

  - Fix a crash at boot time on atheros-2.6
  - Documentation updates
  - UCI updates - uncommitted changes are now active on config reads
  - PPP fixes
  - Firewall fixes for dynamic interfaces
  - Config enhancements for dnsmasq
  - Timing fixes for BCM947xx (fixes flash access problems on some models)
  - Fix for BCM947xx and Atheros cards on Linux 2.4
  - Prevent interfaces from accidentally being started twice at boot time
  - Fix QoS for dynamically assigned interfaces
  - Fix IMQ errors when ip6tables is installed (Linux 2.4) 



Platforms
---------

      amcc-2.6 - AMCC Taishan

  magicbox-2.6 - Magicbox v1.1 / v2.0 

     rb532-2.6 - Mikrotik RouterBoard 532

       x86-2.6 - x86 based devices (eg. WRAP)

Configuration
-------------

  All of the configuration data is now kept within the filesystem, under the
  /etc/config directory. This means that when installing or reflashing, the
  configuration will be reset to default values as the filesystem is replaced.

      LAN: 192.168.1.1/24
      WAN: DHCP
     WIFI: Disabled

   Telnet: Enabled until root password set
      SSH: Used after setting root password 


  The new configuration files are built in sections, each section begins with
  a "config" keyword defining the section, followed by one or more "option"
  keywords defining values for that section.

    config <type> <name>
       option <name> <value>
       option <name> <value>
       ...

  Configuration can be done either by editing the configuration files directly
  or by using the "uci" tool in a manner similar to the previous nvram util.

    uci show
    uci show <config file>
    uci show <config file>.<config name>
    uci get <file>.<config>.<option>
    uci set <file>.<config>.<option>=<value>
    uci del <file>.<config>.<option>
    uci commit
    
  Example:

    root@OpenWrt:~# uci show network.lan
    network.lan=interface
    network.lan.ifname=eth0.0
    network.lan.proto=static
    network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.1.1
    network.lan.netmask=255.255.255.0

    root@OpenWrt:~# uci set network.lan.ipaddr="192.168.1.20"

    root@OpenWrt:~# uci get network.lan.ipaddr
    192.168.1.20

    root@OpenWrt:~# uci commit

    root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/network restart

Packages
--------

  Additional features or utilities can be added via the ipkg system.

    ipkg update
    ipkg list
    ipkg install <package>
    ipkg remove <package>

  Note, there are two compressed filesystems, squashfs and jffs2. The squashfs
  partition is readonly and contains all the files shipped with the firmware.
  The jffs2 partition is writable, and stores changes to squashfs.

  - Reinstalling or upgrading packages contained on squashfs is not recommend;
    the old package will simply be hidden, not deleted.

  - Because the filesystems are compressed, ipkg cannot determine if you have
    enough free space, and consequently may run out. If this happens you should
    try to manually delete files.
