DRAFT: Batman-adv 2019.3 released

Jul 23th, 2019. Today the B.A.T.M.A.N. team publishes the Jul 2019 update to batman-adv, batctl and alfred! TODO As usual, this release also contains various bugfixes and code cleanups.

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
