Can't execute scripts without sh

[TeHashX]

Some users complain about executing scripts after updating to v378.55 on this guide https://www.hqt.ro/transmission-on-asuswrt-routers-through-optware/#comment-2147444328
The only way is to put "sh" before script and it's fine, is som code changed in firmware?
On mine rt-ac66u and rt-ac56u working fine but I didn't restored to factory defaults like other users did.
Can somebody else make some tests and report here please?
Thanks

Works fine here.

admin@rt-ac68u:/tmp/home/root# chmod +x t.sh
admin@rt-ac68u:/tmp/home/root# ./t.sh
hi

I need feedback if you restore to factory settings and then install optware from that guide.

entware. not optware for me. but firmware doesn't matter here.

Anyone else?

It may be more productive to have a few people having the issue represent themselves so a root cause can be determined. If they need to prefix scripts by sh, its likely an environment issue or a busybox problem or config problem deployed as part of optware.

I found the culprit, I have to add path to non working scripts
Code:

PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
