Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13_2 (RT-AC87U and RT-AC3200), and 384.14 (other models) are now available.
Jan 1st: 384.14_2 is available for the RT-AC68U, RTAC88U/3100/5300 and RT-AC86U, addressing a few issues specific to these models. Changes since 384.14:
The 384.13_2 release mostly focuses on fixes backported from 384.14. Since the 382 and 384 codebases are now too different, compiling these two older models with newer GPL code is not possible unless obtaining special binary components from Asus, which I was not able to do for 384.14.
The 384.14 release for other models focuses on GPL merges and fixes.
The highlights:
Changelog is here.
Please keep posts focused on this specific release. Also note that I intend to lock this thread after a few weeks, once the release-specific issues have been handled, to avoid this thread devolving into a generic support discussion.

Code:
- FIXED: Missing cifs kernel module
- FIXED: stubby was linked with OpenSSL 1.0 instead of 1.1
- FIXED: some routers were reporting the Internet connection being
disconnected. If you were affected and you had flashed
a customized bootloader, then please reflash your original
bootloader, as your modded bootloader is invalid, and other
potential issues may appear over time.
- FIXED: Random traffic spikes logged in Traffic Monitor (regression

The 384.14 release for other models focuses on GPL merges and fixes.
The highlights:
- GPL updates: 384_6436 (RT-AX88U), 384_81351 (other models, with 384_81116 binary blobs used for the RT-AC88U/RT-AC3100), which contains Let's Encrypt fixes.
- Added option to prevent automatic DoH upgrade by Firefox. By default this option will only prevent automatic upgrade if you use DNSFilter or DNSPrivacy (DNS-over-TLS). You can change it to always prevent the upgrade. Note that this option has no impact if you manually decide to enable DoH in Firefox, only for its automatic option currently only available in the US.
- Updated components: miniupnpd 20190824, dnsmasq 2.80-95-g1aef66b, OpenSSL (1.0.2t/1.1.1d), curl (7.66), OpenVPN (2.4.8) and nano (4.4).
- Made self-generated SSL certificate compliant with new IOS 13 and MacOS 10.15 requirements (reduced duration to two years, and added missing attribute)
- Re-implemented the faketc script (which injects fq_codel support into Adaptive QoS) as a binary executable for better performance (reducing the chances of warning messages during QoS initialization if QoS took too long to initialize)
- Enhancements to the IPv6 firewall webui (now accepts empty fields to denote "Any IP", and improved EUI-64 handling)
- Re-added low nvram notification (was lost a few years ago in the move to 382)
- A number of fixes to Let's Encrypt support
- A number of misc fixes, please see the changelog for the complete list
