Dev 1.6.1 as Next Stable Release

What's Changed/Fixed?:

PR: [ #559 ] - BUG FIX: For Github Report: 558

  • User @fire-nxe reported a bug with the WebUI where the Firmware Update Version detected in MerlinAU was incorrect, more info here: [BUG] - Incorrect Firmware Update Version Detection in MerlinAU #558
  • The WebUI was consistently setting a static weight value of -100 for Beta/Alpha releases, regardless of the setting for Beta-to-Release F/W Updates
  • The WebUI was modified to only set the weight penalty of beta/alpha releases if the setting is enabled for: Beta-to-Release F/W Updates
  • Additionally, when enabled, it should compare the numeric segments first and only use beta/alpha status as a tie-breaker within the SAME numeric version.

PR: [ #560 ] - Reset Configuration Settings After F/W Update

  • Modified code to properly reset some configuration settings after a F/W Update has been successfully completed, followed by a router reboot. This way, we have a "cleaner" starting point for the next F/W update.
  • (Thanks @Martinski4GitHub )

PR: [ #561 ] - Messaging Improvement when entering Login Password.

  • Added messages to the "Router Login Password" prompt to let the user know how to show/hide the password string, and how to exit the input prompt.
  • Sample screenshot showing additional messaging:

As always, we highly recommend you update ASAP as this includes functional improvements and little bug fixes.
Thanks!

Set file type attributes.
1. After updating the firmware, the script runs: sh /jffs/scripts/MerlinAU.sh **postUpdateEmail**
- However, that function does not currently handle resetting the setting value of **FW_New_Update_Notification_Vers** back to "TBD" and instead would only reset the value of **"FW_New_Update_Changelog_Approval" back to "TBD" for some reason.
Due to this, it retrained a stale firmware-update notification version in the settings for: **FW_New_Update_Notification_Vers**

2. The WebUI was consistently setting a static weight value of -100 for Beta/Alpha releases, regardless of the setting for **Beta-to-Release F/W Updates**
-The WebUI should only set the weight penalty of beta/alpha releases if the setting is enabled for: **Beta-to-Release F/W Updates**
Additionally, when enabled, it should compare the numeric segments first and only use beta/alpha status as a tie-breaker within the  SAME numeric version.
