Nightwing 0.7.8

Nightwing allows the creation of quickly deployed wireless networks without the need to make complicated configurations. With the implementation of a Mesh technology called B.A.T.M.A.N, Nightwing allows the extension of wireless networks with a simple way of adding devices that works with minimal human intervention. It has public and private connection interfaces, and the ability to filter content using OpenDNS. It is designed with security in mind, and has low hardware requirements.

Changes: This release allows you to make the Private AP optional, as well as the configuration for this new feature in nw_conf and the Web Admin Interface. Marking in the Traffic Shaping script has changed. Special characters are allowed in passwords in the Web Admin Interface. The layout of the Web Admin interface has changed. You can reboot uhttpd thru the Web Admin interface. The page is refreshed in some browsers after the config is applied. Wireless mode selection has been added to the config page.
