Note this is a different location from the stable release
===============================
As I mentioned previously, I'm first making this release available as a BETA, primarily due to the IPv6 fixes unique to this fork. Unfortunately, I'm not yet IPv6 enabled, so can only do some basic testing on these fixes. Due to some late breaking items I wanted to get included, we're now at a BETA4 release level. A detailed Changelog can be found in the download directory.
HighLights:
- Includes Merlin's temporary fixes for ASUS infosvr LAN-side security vulnerability
- OpenVPN updated to 2.3.6, including an upstream fix for Cipher-None.
- Support for the AC68P. I did find some unique 68P code regarding the 5G wireless parameters buried in the 376 release which have been backported. If you are an AC68P user, feedback would be appreciated.
- IPv6 fixes for Stateful DHCP-PD, 6in4 tunnel configuration and MTU advertisement for PPP IPv6 connections
- IPv6 fix for a Comcast buffer overflow condition and a potential performance improvement for Comcast IPv4 connections (both ported from Shibby Tomato)
- Miscellaneous gui fixes correcting the inability to modify some fields and more flexibility in manually setting the transmit power above 200mW
- A potential fix for power settings not being properly applied without a reboot - please provide feedback
- Some new features....
[*] You can now display the Traffic Monitor graphs in Mb/s instead of KB/s
[*] You can now specify different address : port combinations for SSH access (different ports for WAN vs LAN access). If you were using the previous release of the fork SSH address feature, you should clear that value before loading this code.
The new features and one of the fixes require setting of an nvram variable to become active. Details can be found in the
Merlin_Fork_Options.txt file in the download directory.
A factory default reset is NOT required if coming from any level of the fork or Merlin 374 code. Coming from any other level does require a factory default reset after the code is loaded.
