The B.A.T.M.A.N.-developer team would be happy to celebrate with YOU the 0.2 release of B.A.T.M.A.N. at the C-Base (in Berlin). FYI, there will also be a free barrel of cool beer waiting to be flushed. Version 0.2 can reasonably be called stable now. It works quite performant, supports multiple interfaces, has a low CPU-load, a robustly working algorithm underneath, and autonomously negotiates UDP-Tunnels to GWs  which ultimately enables long-term and stable internet connections. A number of users reported quite excitedly about the amazing experiences they made with this protocol. Well, we want to stay neutral so join in to hear them and try batman for yourself.

Currently B.A.T.M.A.N is available for Linux only. The ports for Mac OS-X and BSD have fallen asleep and are waiting for a diligent bee ... Maybe there will once also exist a windows port.

Many thanks to all the people who helped to realize this in such a short amount of time.
