DRAFT: Batman-adv 2021.4 released

Nov 16th, 2021. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the November 2021 update to batman-adv! Several code cleanups and bugfixes are included in this version.

As the kernel module always depends on the Linux kernel it is compiled against, it does not make sense to provide binaries on our website. As usual, you will find the signed tarballs in our download section:

Thanks
