There isnt any new release yet. Its only a self compiled fw from a member.What's new in this release?

I am ready to jump on board with testing once @RMerlin feels comfortable compiling alphas to test. I do not wish to dive into self compiles since Adaptive QoS wont work.Updating the thread that my AiMesh is running great now. No issue.
I see alpha builds.
Well you know what they say in these forums...... Everything is better when @RMerlin does it.I see alpha builds.

Dirty upgrade to my RT-AX88U from 384.19_0 (since December of 2019...).
Usual steps:
Since there was no corresponding Alpha firmware for the RT-AX58U (still using 384.19_0) I use in AiMesh mode, I simply reset the 'AX58U via the WPS method, flashed the new Alpha to the 'AX88U, and then re-added the node.
- Safely remove USB drives (via the GUI, but not physically)
- Flash RMerlin firmware I want to use/test
- After at least 15 minutes I rebooted the router.
- After an additional 60 minutes or more, I reboot the router one last time.
Random observational notes:
The first time after flashing the router it took over 7 minutes for the network to come 'up'. Even when I was able to enter via the GUI, the WAN was showing as disconnected and the USB drive was showing as unmounted for another minute or two.
All the scripts seem to be working! From amtm and from within the GUI too.
Within half an hour, RAM usage down to 47MB free (normal). Swap file usage 14.73MB (normal).
Browsing seems exceptionally faster (wired desktop) between 386.1 Alpha 2, chronyd, and unbound.
Edit: except for ChannelHog. @Adamm, I know this isn't critical, but just bringing it to your attention for completeness.

Just tested new alpha from RMerlin and working fine. Sblinking exclamation mark. RT-AC68U don't have 64k nvram.
Aimesh 2 latest function working fine with RC7 beta ( 9.0.0.4.386_40577) firmware on Aimesh nod.
This is some maintenance done on the nt_center database on first boot of the newer AX88U code. If you let it sit for a while, maintenance will eventually complete, and it will return to normal.
I followed this advice and after flashing I had to reboot manually. Other than that zero issues. Thanks @L&LD !Dirty upgrade to my RT-AX88U from 384.19_0 (since December of 2019...).

Not true. Had to format /jffs on AC66U_b1 with the alpha2 firmware.Only RT-AC86U needs to format /jffs after firmware upgrade.
Dirty upgrade on 86U from .19. Being bitten by this at the moment:
Release - [Test] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 - OpenVPN test builds
Fresh install just to be sure. Everything is working fine with 3 VPN clients, exclusive and disabled DNS. Rebooted several times with no issues. No DNS leaks and Scripts are working fine as well. Setup is with UDP (1 voip) and TCP, TUN. Some extra info: : Outgoing Data Channel: Cipher...www.snbforums.com
Almost 30 mins now, and the webui still isn't up, but router is functional.
