Asuswrt-Merlin 384 Changelog
============================
General changes in the 384/NG branch vs 380.xx:
- Clear your browser cache after flashing your first 384 build.
- It's generally recommended to do a factory default reset
when coming from 380 to 384/NG.
- HDD spindown settings moved to the System settings page
- SSL certificate management moved to the DDNS page for models
that support Let's Encrypt
- Nvram settings now have maximum lengths enforced, to protect
against buffer overruns. This means that some very long
lists of settings might no longer be possible on 384.xx.
384.4 (xx-xxx-2018)
- NEW: Merged with GPL 384_20379 (with some binary components
from 382_50010 and 384_20308 depending on models)
- NEW: Added support for the RT-AC5300.
- NEW: Added support for the RT-AC87U.
- NEW: Added IPSEC support to the RT-AC86U.
- NEW: Support the new Entware 64-bit repo on the RT-AC86U.
To switch to the new repository, re-run the
entware-setup.sh script. You will need to reinstall
your apps (your old config files are backed up on
your USB disk).
- CHANGED: Tightened security around some config files.
- CHANGED: Allow guest networks settings for AP isolation
and SSID broadcast to be set separately from
their parent interface (John Bacho)
- CHANGED: Samba protocol support can now be set to
SMBv1, SMBv2, or SMBv1 + SMBv2 (the new default).
This will result in a performance drop on all
models but the RT-AC86U, but will be more secure.
Ideally, people should change it to SMBv2 only,
and then reboot all their client devices to start
using only the new protocol.
- CHANGED: Re-added some of the logging sd-idle used to do
in 380.xx.
- CHANGED: Switched to the new Entware repo for armv7 models.
To upgrade, run the following commands TWICE:
opkg update; opkg upgrade
- FIXED: Resetting an OpenVPN client to default settings
might revert back after a reboot.
- FIXED: log flood from lldpd about "unable to send packet
on real device" (moved to debug level)
- FIXED: Potential racing condition that could lead to two
instances of miniupnpd running at boot time.
- FIXED: Single-char hostnames were rejected by DHCP static
leasees page.
- FIXED: AiCloud could sometime generate a new SSL certificate
that would overwrite the one stored in jffs. Now,
AiCloud can also use the same one uploaded by the
user for the main webui, or the Let's Encrypt one.
- REMOVED: Telnet server. Please use SSH for console-based
management.
- REMOVED: Disabled SNMP support on the RT-AC86U (incompatible)
- REMOVED: Merlin NAT loopback mode (was increasingly
problematic as the firmware firewall handling became
more complex)
