v8.7.0 (XC, WA, 2XC, 2WA) / February 4, 2020

============================================

Major changes:
--------------

* PTP performance improvements and reduced CPU load on higher channel widths.
Up to 40% improvement for pure PTP 80MHz bridge.
For max performance enable PTP bridge mode, make sure VLANs & bridge firewall
aren't used and leave MTU at default 1500 bytes.
* Simplify airMAX mode configuration: airMAX AC-only mode fully replaced with
airMAX mixed mode.
* Introduce flex-new 10MHz option (beta).
* Improve device stability when handling huge amounts of connections.
* Faster scan when auto channel width option is enabled on station.
* DFS prescan feature on access points. It utilizes the secondary radio for DFS
detection. DFS prescan is automatically started on system boot after
management radio timeout. It runs for 10-30 minutes and waits for CAC
(Channel Availability Check) time on each DFS channel. Frequencies where no
radar events are detected during the CAC wait are marked in the wireless
settings frequency list. This iteration of the DFS prescan feature is
informational only - device does not act on the collected information yet.

Known issues:
-------------

* WebUI: Due to PTP performance optimizations LAST IP column in the station list
shows "unknown" for airMAX M clients. Will be fixed with the next airMAX M release.

Regulatory updates:
-------------------

* DFS algorithm improvements.

* Update frequency plan for Indonesia according to PM 1-2019: removed 2474MHz.
* Update frequency plan for Kenya.

Security Fixes:
---------------

Fixes:
------

* Connectivity: Disable scan list if it is configured with invalid frequencies.

* Connectivity: Fix issue where AP can stop receiving traffic when antenna gain is
changed.
* Connectivity: Fix site survey when radio is configured for the "Licensed"
country.
* Connectivity: When auto channel width is enabled, station could connect to AP
with lower channel width (for example 20MHz instead of 40MHz).
* System: Also block access via IPv6 when block management access is enabled.
* System: Fix GPS time sync - the GPS chip had a week counter rollover bug.
* System: Fix for fast network reconfiguration. Addresses are not fully flushed
from old interface when using DHCP client and adding VLANs.
* System: Improve 2AC stability on system boot with many stations.
* System: Optimize airView spectral daemon memory use.
* System: Remove DynDNS.
* System: Remove MAC-Telnet.
* System: Send a single beacon packet every 30s when disconnected from controller.
* System: Update self-signed HTTPS certificate generation rules to match macOS
v10.15 and iOS v13 requirements.
* WebUI: Add warning notification if frequency scan list contains only DFS
channels.
* WebUI: Collapsable Wireless Advanced section.
* WebUI: Easier to select target AP in the site survey tool.
* WebUI: Fix for empty discovery tool dialog when device name contains invalid
characters.
* WebUI: Fix for missing second Ethernet port information in dashboard details for
dual port devices.
* WebUI: Fix for page load issues when accessed over slow connections.
* WebUI: Fix warning when invalid firmware version is uploaded.
* WebUI: Improve "Management radio is enabled" warning - it is now less persistent
and more informative.
* WebUI: Improve PTMP throughput charts in dashboard: AP side shows total AP
throughput, STA side is split into separate RX/TX charts.
* WebUI: Improve firmware update checking.
* WebUI: Make the DFS wait bar more visible.
* WebUI: Merge auto channel width and manual channel width fields on station.
* WebUI: Move traffic shaping section from advanced to simple network settings
page.

Feature requirements: airMAX AC >=v8.6.0, airMAX M >=v6.2.0-beta (for mixed setup),
non-DFS target frequency.

2019-11478, CVE-2019-5599, CVE-2019-11479). Note: your device is not vulnerable if
management access is isolated or blocked.
* Security fix for UBNT Discovery: TCP scan on 10001 port could cause high CPU
load.

* Upgrade miniUPnPd to v2.1 (fixes CVE-2019-12106, CVE-2019-12108, CVE-2019-12109).
As part of these fixes miniUPnPd now requires WAN interface to have a public IP
address.

Fixes:
------
* When AP is using 40MHz channel width and Station has enabled Auto Channel Width,
wireless link can be established incorrectly, requiring Station side reboot.
