DRAFT: Batman-adv 2021.2 released

Juli 27th, 2021. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the Juli 2021 update to batman-adv, TODO Also several bugfixes 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:
