New release based on old OpenWrt ​

https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/commits/master

We are waiting to decide whether to increase the default distance parameter

we want relase after decide about "default distance" https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues/201https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/blob/v2020.3/packages/lime-system/files/etc/config/lime-defaults#L62-L75

Some data from Gothos and Ilario, with a script for replicating the analysis https://github.com/ilario/wifi-distance-setting-exploration

Experience on distance parameter: Cri: in our community with directional links, 10 km is a good default because people can flash the antenna/router by themself and see that Lime works. in other case, they Troian: we are using omnidirectional routers 80 m away from each other, in a line of 3 to 5 routers, so we flash the firmwares with other distances

New release candidate based on recent OpenWrt ​

ASU is amazing. It uses the OpenWrt ImageBuilder If we want to use the official ASU server, we need to use ODHCPD for IPv6: https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues/294 I we set up our own ASU server, then there are just tiny things to fix: https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/issues/1000
