DRAFT: Batman-adv 2026.0 released¶
February 24nd, 2026: The B.A.T.M.A.N. team is excited to announce the release of the February 2026 update for batman-adv! This includes only bug fixes.
Since the kernel module is always dependent on the specific Linux kernel it’s compiled against, providing precompiled binaries on our website is not feasible. As always, you can find the signed tarballs in the download section:
