Failure to do so will prevent the new QR codes from being properly displayed, due to an old cached CSS.
The highlights of this release:

- Introducing VPN Director, which replaces the previous per-client Policy routing rules with a centrally managed page. More details in the Wiki: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/VPN-Director , as well as in the VPN Director preview thread (https://www.snbforums.com/threads/vpn-director-testing.73122/).
- OpenVPN routing handling was rewritten, allowing the implementation of VPN Director, but also bringing additional fixes and improvements
- OpenVPN DNS handling was revised, resolving various quirks and issues related to it
- Improved OpenVPN kill switch behavior, it can now be used with clients set to route All traffic through
- Component updates: nano (5.7), curl (7.76.1), dnsmasq (2.85-openssl), openvpn (2.5.3), getdns (1.7.0), stubby (0.4.0)
Please review the Changelog for more details.
Things in particular need of testing:
- General OpenVPN client behavior (was already pretty well tested in the preview test cycle, but wider testing would be useful here)
- Please review the Wiki documentation to ensure it's clear and accurate enough: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/VPN-Director
