Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

[RMerlin]

Asuswrt-Merlin 388.4 is now available for Wifi 6 models.

3004.388.4 (21-Aug-2023)
  - NOTE: In preparation for the new 3.0.0.6 codebase, the version
          string will now start with 3004 or 3006 to match with
          upstream.

  - NOTE: The RT-AX56U is no longer supported, as Asus has put it
          on End-of-Life status, and the previous Asuswrt-Merlin
          388 releases for that model were all based on untested
          code.

  - NEW: Display channel utilisation for supported platforms on the
         Wireless Log page.
  - UPDATED: Merged GPL 388_23588.
  - UPDATED: curl to 8.1.2.
  - UPDATED: OpenVPN to 2.6.5.
  - UPDATED: openssl to 1.1.1u.
  - UPDATED: tor to 0.4.7.13.
  - CHANGED: FTP server will now only support strong ciphers
             in TLS mode.
  - FIXED: QOS Classification showing no Upload data on some
           WAN configurations.
  - FIXED: Radio temperature graphs weren't updating
  - FIXED: XT12 proximity pairing wasn't working (missing
           bluetooth firmware)
  - REMOVED: Ethernet port status from the Tools Sysinfo page
             (as this is redundant with Asus' own display
             now available on the networkmap page).

Note that this build was temporarily published, then pulled for a few minutes, and re-published again while I was tracking an issue related to downloading changelogs on new firmware notification. There has been no change in the re-published builds, so no need to redownload.

Dirty upgrade from 388.2_2 to 3004.388.4 via wifi - all good.
Prompts for Manual reboot of router but all connectivity seem look hence skip manual reboot

Thanks will test on ax86u.
Other ax86u users, does your Bootloader cfe version still read 0.0.0.6?

 

[lgkahn]

questions will this overwrite any of the following: my custom dns, startup scripts (ie init-start, ddns-start) and or cron jobs or open vpn server config.

thanks in advance

No, all your existing settings and customization will remain in place following a firmware upgrade.

Very bad idea, but suit yourself.

Perfect timing, received RT-AX88U Pro today!

Was curious what the end of filename mean? RT-AX88U_PRO_3004_388.4_0_nand_squashfs?

 

[taffeys]

Updated my RT-AX86U. Everything is looking good so far.

 

[Rhialto]

Normal?

Did a reboot and yes I have done CTRL-F5 to clear browser cache and reload page.

Well I was at about that much uptime before I did a reboot. Perhaps it is time to upgrade................
