Asuswrt-Merlin Changelog
========================
380.65 (3-Feb-2017)
- NEW: Merged with parts of Asus GPL 380_4180, left out
most of it because of too many bugs in it.
- NEW: Upgraded to OpenVPN 2.4.0, and implemented support
for many of its new features:
* GCM ciphers
* LZ4 compression
* tls-crypt (uses the Static Key field)
* Cipher negotiation (NCP), with (optional)
fallback to legacy "cipher" parameter when
an OpenVPN 2.3 client connects to the
router's 2.4 server.
Please refer to the OpenVPN 2.4 documentation for
more info on these new features.
You will be warned if any server setting would
generate an exportable ovpn file that would be
incompatible with older clients.
Existing client config shouldn't need to be changed,
unless you modify the router's server configuration.

- NEW: Added the following Busybox applets: ntpd, time, uniq,

hardcoded ones (like router.asus.com).
- CHANGED: Create a system log entry if a new firmware
version is available.
- CHANGED: Display name and icon for clients configured on the
Tor page.
- CHANGED: Streamlined miniupnpd stop/start events during boot,
so there are fewer of them now.
- FIXED: Invalid DUID used when requesting an IPv6 prefix
for some of the newer router models, which would
prevent them from getting working IPv6 (Asus bug)
- FIXED: Network Service Firewall rules not applied
under certain configurations
- FIXED: Port triggering wasn't working if traffic had
been whitelisted by Network Service Firewall
- FIXED: Avahi wasn't rejecting connections from
secondary WAN interface
- FIXED: Sorting clients by connection time would incorrectly
treat 10 hours as shorter than 9 hours, as it was
handling it as a string (Asus bug)

user-configured hostname when using DDNS custom mode.
- FIXED: Exported OpenVPN client config didn't work when
using static key authentication.
- FIXED: Exported OpenVPN client config wasn't editable with

additional fixes of my own)
380.64 (16-Dec-2016)
- NEW: New firmware availability notification. The router will
notify you if a new firmware is available, and will also
let you view the changelog before sending you to the
download page (the update process remains manual).
Note that the automated check will only report new
final releases. The Check button on the Firmware Upgrade
will immediately check for final releases or beta (if you
select that option), but not both at the same time.
- NEW: Added iptables MASK support on MIPS kernel (patch
by john9527)
- NEW: Webui warning shown in the notification area if running
low on free nvram.

80/443, and drop UDP and ICMP traffic (patch by
blackfuel)

clients with the least traffic will get grouped
under "Others" if truncating the list of shown

- CHANGED: Improved webui performance, by caching large static
Javascript files such as jquery, and increased cache
life from 5 mins to 1 hour.

firmware for those models that still included them,
reducing firmware size by a few megabytes.
Those were always outdated, the router will download
the latest versions from Asus's servers at install
time.

(backport from GPL 4164)
- FIXED: Web server crash if importing an ovpn file with an

- CHANGED: Added detection for iPhone 7 models in networkmap
(patch by Andrei Coman).

qosd seems to be hardcoded to always set up classes on eth0
rather than on the real WAN interface.
