This hasn't been updated in a long time. Kinda scary.

Don't be scared.....was working on buttoning up the final V18 today. I have a lot going on personally right now, so it may be slightly longer between releases.This hasn't been updated in a long time. Kinda scary.

Thanks for the latest release. Do I need to take note of anything else if I am upgrading from your B9 release?Release V18E1 is now available...Details are in the first post and ChangeLog, but here are a couple of the big items in the update...
LATEST RELEASE: Update-18E1
21-July-2016
Merlin fork 374.43_2-18E1j9527
Download http://bit.ly/1YdgUcP
============================
Update-18E1 Highlights
- Updated components - OpenVPN, OpenSSL, dnsmasq, lighttpd, mDNSResponder, timemachine
- AC56 and AC68 ARM routers are now compiled with a 64M rootfs
For fork users with a current CFE, upgrade to this firmware as usual, then you will be able to change to the latest Merlin/OEM builds without the need for an intermediate firmware upgrade. Note that if you move from the fork to a 380 firmware level, you will have to use the Firmware Restoration tool if you desire to return to this fork.- Numerous tweaks/improvements/fixes to QoS (both traditional and bandwidth limiter). Bandwidth limiter users should upgrade to this level to correct a problem in properly setting the BW limiter rules.
- A special option for the EU N66 users.....Allow extended 5GHz channels to be enabled for EU N66 via an nvram setting. This is a regulatory compliant implementation (including radar detection), but in keeping with the fork history, implemented as an 'Engineering Mode' which may provide somewhat better performance over the OEM code. Special thanks to @ColinTaylor for helping to test/debug this change.
- Enhanced checking for weak router passwords
- New banner alerts (the exclamation point) for low NVRAM and firewall disabled
- Enhanced syslog messages for gui login/logoff
Enjoy!

No, nothing special. Normal upgrade.Thanks for the latest release. Do I need to take note of anything else if I am upgrading from your B9 release?
Hmmm....I use OpenVPN server and it's working fine for me (I even just double checked). Anything of interest in the syslog?Possible bug report. For me OPENVPN servers do not work with firmware version 18. I didn't troubleshoot much because they were needed- I went right back to 17 and they work again. It seems they just won't turn on? Pretty psyched about the QOS!
Thanks! Any advise on where to put custom commands as my wan-start script in /jffs/scripts is not getting invoked.No, nothing special. Normal upgrade.

I use a wan-start script and it's working fine for me. Anything special you are doing? Did you recently make a change and accidentally save it in DOS/WIN format instead of Linux format?Thanks! Any advise on where to put custom commands as my wan-start script in /jffs/scripts is not getting invoked.
