DRAFT: Batman-adv 2023.2 released

Aug 4th, 2023. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the August 2023 update to batman-adv! Alfred now allows to send data via unix socket to a primary server when none of the interfaces is ready. Also several bug fixes and code cleanups 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:
