New version of my custom firmware build: 1.0.2.85SF.

Changes (vs 1.0.2.84SF):

1. Toolchain: GCC is upgraded 10.3.0->11.1.0.
2. Toolchain: Go is upgraded 1.16.3->1.16.4.
3. OpenVPN is upgraded 2.5.1->2.5.2.
4. curl package is upgraded 7.76.0->7.76.1.
5. uci package is upgraded 2020-10-06->2021-04-14.
6. libgcrypt package is upgraded 1.8.7->1.9.3.
7. libgpg-error package is upgraded 1.39->1.42.
8. nano package is upgraded 5.6.1->5.7.
9. ethtool package is upgraded 5.10->5.12.
10. netatalk-utility: fix error message for '/etc/init.d/forked-daapd start|stop' if there is no such file.
11. amule, libcrypto++, wxWidgets: add support of compilation by GCC 11.
12. samba-scripts: add possibility to use custom user's config '/etc/config/samba/user.conf'.

(Now it is possible to use custom user's config for samba. Just save your custom​

config as '/etc/config/samba/user.conf' and it will be used instead of generation of the​

new config)​

Thanks to all. Most important in this version is:

1. Toolchain: GCC is upgraded 10.3.0->11.1.0.

I.e. use of the new GCC compiler v. 11.1.0.

Thanks for another hassle free update.

Although the 7800 was first introduced in 2016 and might be considered somewhat ancient, you've extended its life considerably with your firmware updates.

I have no urge to replace my 7800.

The R7800 is a very decent router hardware-wise. It's not as old as the R7000 which still sells a lot. I personally have no need to replace my R7800.

Ancient...

Out of topic. Just for fun: do you realize that your R7800 is powered by much more powerful CPU vs e.g. most modern aircraft on-board computer (avionics) you are flying? Airbus/Boeing. And much much much more powerful vs e.g. Mars Exploration Rovers...

Reliability and safety...

I don't want to change it too, but can you just imagine what would this otherwise excellent hardware be without the freedom of it having an excellent router software/firmware too.
And if you are still not sure you need excellent firmware too here is something for you to read too...
Thank you @Voxel and all of you who contribute to this to be true.

The 7800 hardware design engineers made an excellent choice using the Qualcomm Atheros chipset.
