Don't realise what you have until it's gone

As an exercise, I put the latest 380.7266 on my AC88U.

It seems very stable and I have no issues with it - except for the lack of Merlin features.

Especially the VPN enhancements, notably OpenVPN 2.4 support.

Looking forward to Merlin on the 7266 GPL - as a 382.x branch seems like a long way off.

380.65 Merlin already has OpenVPN 2.4 support...So what's your point?

... So what's your point?

Support Asuswrt-Merlin as if it were going away because DD-WRT is nearly impossible to compile?

You tell me...

 

[RMerlin]

There's currently no plan on a release based on 7266, as this release has too many issues.

"Looking forward to Merlin on the 7266 GPL"

That's my point. 380.65 is based on GPL 3xxx

Anyway, RMerlin has already advised that he has no plan to do it.

Pre-beta Merlin builds currently use 380_7266.

It's like in the airport - "the moving walkway is nearing it's end - please watch your step..."

sooner or later - it's going to be LTS, like @john9527 fork - and RMerlin's post earlier in the year - merging things and continued coverage sooner or later becomes impossible. This is how software works...

It's been a good run - would be nice to see John and Eric join up with the *WRT open source folks directly - along with Voxel and hggomes even, as their insight, contributions, and skills make things better for all...
