Diversion Diversion 4.3.3 - the Router Ad-Blocker, released April 02 2023

[thelonelycoder]

Looking forward to it. A shiny new Diversion to play with will be my most anticipated present of the season.

I am flattered, thank you!
Let me see - the last Diversion update was released on April 2 this year and I started with the rewrite sometime in May.
That's seven months of toiling, swearing, testing and (mostly) having fun working on a hobby project.

Believe me, I will be more than happy to finally release it.

Tap-Tap-Tap, Christmas is almost here.

Fee-fi-fo-fum when will this release be done.

I wish I may, I wish I might, get this release tonight.

“It came without ribbons, it came without tags, It came without packages, boxes, or bags.”

HA-HA-HA, HO-HO-HO, Happy Holidays to ALL!



Am I going to be looking at coal for this?

Diversion works very well for me, thank you for this!

I have a question in regard to auto-update.

I am using Diversion on an ASUS RT-AX86U, firmware 3004.388.9_2 within amtm 5.2.

Diversion has its own tab of course in LAN and I have been checking that from time to time.

Today i checked again and the tab contained nothing but the text 'Diversion'. uIDivStats looked as usual, all good. Diversion seem to work.

So I went to SSH and called amtm and diversion and Update. It told me there was a new version available, 5.4.5. I was surprised because i had enabled auto-update - or so I thought? Anyway went ahead, did the update and now all is good, the Diversion tab is back to normal.

This is what I have now:

Auto update is on.

My questions is:

Is auto-update working out of the box or one has to create a cron job entry?

This is what i have in there now:

There are entries with Diversion_UpdateBL#, RotateLogs# and CountAds# but these are not to update Diversion itself, are they?

If I need an extra cron line can you please suggest an example?

Many Thanks!

Auto-update is for the ads counter, not for Diversion app.
As far as I know there're no scripts with auto-update incorporated, but you can enable through amtm or wicens to notify you whenever there's a script update

Thank you for the reply!

Indeed amtm has the option for scripts. I did not realise as it is shown in a long list of available scripts.

Anyway installed and tested with email and it's working..e.g. worked to notify for amtm 5.2 -> 5.2.1.

Cron also has now an entry for the scripts update notification to run weekly (Sundays as I recall) so all is good!

Many thanks again and to @thelonelycoder for the Diversion app!
