Comprehensive firmware changelog?

[BrianDC]

Is there a changelog that shows all the changes/all the firmware versions. I see the latest firmware on the top of the forum, but didn't see a full change history.  For those that don't update frequently this is useful to really see all the features /fixes that have been implemented over time.

Hoping this might be posted to the wiki, or even links to each firmware forum post wouldn't be too hard.

[d.kiran]

I agree.. I don't have wiki permissions. If someone could add to Wiki that would be great.

Router Features:
Updated Wi-Fi drivers, we're still working on performance optimization, but overall performance should be improved in this release.
CPU Wi-Fi offload is enabled in this release.
The following has been fixed
Garbled data over the WAN port has been addressed.
5GHz interface is not broadcasting SSID when certain settings were changed in the web UI.
2.4 GHz and 5GHz client were not getting internet using the 5GHz radio in Range Extender mode.
Speed issues - 5GHz client to LAN.
General performance improvements to Range Extender and Access Point modes.
LAN clients were unable to access the internet in Range Extender/Bridge mode.
VPN firewall entries wouldn't persist after running any services or reboot.
DNSMASq wouldn't restart after applying settings on the WAN page in the web UI.
Visualization added to the Port Forward and LAN page.
Port ranges are now working in the web UI again.
Storage devices will now mount correctly and you you'll be able to see the available free space on the drives.

Open Issues:

Weather app isn't working in this release.

In some rare cases you may see random reboots and/or the 5GHz SSID failing to broadcast. We've seen this occur on a single unit during our testing.

If you're using Range Extender or Access Point modes, you might see some clients having connectivity problems after flashing to this firmware. Normally a reboot solves it.

Ipsec : VPN services will not work after DHCP renewal from the WAN side. This can be solved temporarily by controlling the UDHCP release on exit in /lib/network/config.sh line number :374

[ "$proto1" != "$proto" ] && append dhcpopts "-n -q" || append dhcpopts " -S -O rootpath -R &"

I can add it to the wiki.

Where did you get the info? Links to the old firmware revs?

Could you post the links if you have them?
thx

[d.kiran]

You know going through all of these changes, it's remarkable how little progress has been made. I know Rules have been added, but the amount of changes is surprisingly low over the past year.
