Asuswrt-Merlin Changelog
========================
3004.388.4 (21-Aug-2023)
- NOTE: In preparation for the new 3.0.0.6 codebase, the version
string will now start with 3004 or 3006 to match with
upstream.
- NOTE: The RT-AX56U is no longer supported, as Asus has put it
on End-of-Life status, and the previous Asuswrt-Merlin
388 releases for that model were all based on untested
code.
- NEW: Display channel utilisation for supported platforms on the
Wireless Log page.
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 388_23588.
- UPDATED: curl to 8.1.2.
- UPDATED: OpenVPN to 2.6.5.
- UPDATED: openssl to 1.1.1u.
- UPDATED: tor to 0.4.7.13.
- CHANGED: FTP server will now only support strong ciphers
in TLS mode.
- FIXED: QOS Classification showing no Upload data on some
WAN configurations.
- FIXED: Radio temperature graphs weren't updating
- FIXED: XT12 proximity pairing wasn't working (missing
bluetooth firmware)
- REMOVED: Ethernet port status from the Tools Sysinfo page
(as this is redundant with Asus' own display
now available on the networkmap page).
388.2_4 (17-Aug-2023)
- NOTE: This release is only for the GT-AXE11000.
- UPDATED: Critical Wireless driver update, Asus strongly
recommends updating.
388.3 (9-June-2023)
- NOTE: This release is only available for the RT-AX88U_Pro.
- NEW: Merged with GPL 388_23110, adding support for a new
RT-AX88U PRO hardware revision.
388.2_2 (7-May-2023)
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 388_22668 for the XT12 (only)
- UPDATED: OpenVPN to 2.6.3.
- FIXED: QoS Status page wouldn't display Upload stats
if the WAN interface was set to a secondary
2.5G/10G port instead of the default WAN port.
- FIXED: dnsmasq may crash if no DNS server is configured
(fix backported from dnsmasq upstream)
- FIXED: Missing GPY211 driver for the XT12 and for certain
hardware revisions of other HND 5.04 models.
388.2 (12-Apr-2023)
- NOTE: This release is currently not available
for the XT12 due to issues with that model's GPL.
- NEW: Added support for the RT-AX88U Pro.
- NEW: Merged with GPL 388_22525.
- NEW: Added Site Survey page under Network Tools tab. This is
the same network scan that is available for pre-HND
models, with Wifi 6E support added.
- UPDATED: dnsmasq to 2.89.
- UPDATED: openvpn to 2.6.2. If your client fails to connect
then your custom settings must contain settings no
longer supported by OpenVPN 2.6. Review the System
Log, then remove unsupported settings that are
reported in your log.
- UPDATED: nettle to 3.8.1.
- UPDATED: inadyn to 2.10.0.
- UPDATED: dropbear to 2022.83.
- UPDATED: miniupnpd to 2.3.3.
- UPDATED: openssl to 1.1.1t.
- UPDATED: curl to 8.0.1.
- CHANGED: moved WiFi Radar to the Network Tools tab.
- CHANGED: Disabled auto logout on System Log and Wireless Log
pages.
- CHANGED: Reduced EDNS packet size from 1280 to 1232 bytes in
dnsmasq, to better work with some upstream servers
not fully supporting EDNS0.
- CHANGED: Allow empty fields on WireGuard Client page if the
client is disabled. This allow users to manually
clear settings when they are no longer using a client.
- FIXED: NTP redirection wouldn't work properly with Guest
Network, removed redirection for these.
- FIXED: Added missing Tools icon on ROG UI (icon contributed
by Cody).
- FIXED: DDNS was being refreshed every time IPv6 bound6() event
occured even if IPv6 DDNS update was disabled.
- FIXED: Wireless Log wouldn't properly show IPv6 address
for clients with multiple addresses.
- FIXED: ICMPv6 pings would be dropped when DoS protection
was enabled (regression in 388.1).
388.1 (3-Dec-2022)
- NOTE: This release is only available for AX models.
AC models will remain on the 386_xx release branch.
- NEW: Add RT-AX86U_PRO support.
- NEW: Merged with GPL 388_20566 (RT-AX88U and GT-AX11000)
- NEW: Merged with GPL 388_21224 (all other AX models)
- NEW: Experimental ROG UI version for GT models, as a separate
firmware image within the distribution archive, with
"_rog" in the filename.
- NEW: (Asus 388) WireGuard client and server. The server uses
the new 388 VPN server webui. Implemented a webui for
clients, based on the early development UI from Asus.
WG client routing is handled by VPN Director - you must
configure redirection rules through it, same as on stock
firmware which requires configuring rules through
VPN Fusion.
DNS handling will be identical to OpenVPN's Exclusive DNS
mode, forcing clients to use the DNS provided by it
(if any is provided).
Note that enabling WireGuard will disable hardware
NAT acceleration due to compatibility reasons.
- NEW: httpd support for EC certificates (Ivan Kruglov)
- UPDATED: getdns/stubby to 1.7.2/0.4.2.
- UPDATED: zlib to 1.2.12 + backports.
- UPDATED: openssl to 1.1.1s.
- CHANGED: Rebranded DNSFilter as DNS Director. This will prevent
confusion with the company sharing the same name, and
also better describes what the feature does.
- CHANGED: Setting an OpenVPN client to redirect all traffic while
in "Exclusive" DNS mode will now force redirect ALL
DNS traffic just like in VPN Director mode.
While this will allow redirecting clients with
hardcoded DNS servers, it also means that your whole
LAN will lose the ability of doing local name
resolution. It might be best to use VPN Director
in that case to control which client should
be involved in the DNS redirection, or use
DNS Director instead of Exclusive DNS mode.
- CHANGED: (Asus 388) nvram storage increased to 192 KB on newer
HND 5.04 devices like the GT-AXE16000.
- CHANGED: Reworked VPN Status page to only show currently
active services.
- CHANGED: Reworked VPN Director page design, added buttons to
access a client's settings page, and allow leaving
both source and destination IPs empty (for "all").
- CHANGED: Optimized VPN Director WAN and DNS rule creation, so
they no longer get re-created multiple times when
editing VPNDirector rules.
- CHANGED: Switched generated self-signed certificate to an
EC certificate.
- CHANGED: Disabled DSS key support in Dropbear SSH.
- FIXED: Wrong temperatures used by the temperature graphs
(386.8 regression)
- FIXED: CVE-2022-37434 in zlib.
- FIXED: GT-AXE16000 random reboots when using an OpenVPN
client with VPN Director and Adaptive QoS.
- FIXED: Clients connected to Guest Network 1 aren't
redirected if NTP interception is enabled.
- FIXED: Name was truncated to 31 chars when enabling OpenVPN client's
Server Certificate Name Validation.
- REMOVED: Interface selector on Speedtest page (no longer
working, possibly due to an ookla client update)
- REMOVED: NAT Type setting on HND 5.04 devices (fullcone is
not supported by kernel 4.19, so it wasn't working)
386.8 (13-Aug-2022)
- NOTE: This release is only available for the RT-AX88U as
well as the two new models listed below.
- NEW: Added support for the GT-AXE16000.
- NEW: Added support for the GT-AX11000_Pro.
- NEW: Added support for new RT-AX88U hardware revision.
- UPDATED: Merged with GPL 386_49634.

using DNSFilter on a pre-HND model (reverted back
to 386.7 behaviour for that scenario)
- FIXED: inaccurate nvram usage on Sysinfo page for some HND
models. Now accurately report kernel nvram usage.
- FIXED: WiFi Radar page alignment.
- FIXED: AiMesh node new firmware popup would use the device model
(like RT-AC66U_B1) rather than the product id (like
RT-AC68U) for the generated download URL.
- FIXED: OVPN client with DNS set to strict had lower priority
than DNSPrivacy servers.
- FIXED: IPv6 DNS may be missing if DNSPrivacy is enabled.
- FIXED: Wifi Radar pages missing on XT12.
- FIXED: QRcode failing to generate if the SSID contained unicode
characters (like emojis or other UTF8 entities)

HND 5.04 models like the GT-AX6000 or XT12, which work
properly. Non-Router mode on HND will still use
the new DNAT support added in 386.7.
- FIXED: Some SSH clients would end up with an incorrect PATH
value for the default search path.
- FIXED: OpenVPN clients wouldn't get updated routing tables
if an OpenVPN server was stopped/started while an
OpenVPN client was connected
386.7 (22-June-2022)

- UPDATED: tor to 0.4.7.8.
- CHANGED: dhcpc-event now has a second parameter that will
contain "4" or "6" depending on the IP protocol of
the event (dave14305)
- FIXED: JFFS backup/restore functions not working on XT12
and GT-AX6000.

as the RT-AX86U).
- NEW: Added wireguard kernel module + userspace tool to
HND models firmware images.
- NEW: IPv6 support for OpenVPN server. Allows to remotely

- UPDATED: CA bundle to 2021-12-13.
- UPDATED: amtm to 3.2.2 (thelonelycoder)
- CHANGED: replaced jitterentropy-rngd with haveged.
It uses more resources, but it works
properly on older platforms, and is
generally less CPU intensive in regular
use. This is implemented for all router
models.
- CHANGED: Switched dnsmasq crypto backend to nettle.
- CHANGED: Switched to Asus's own dhcp hostname support.
Existing dhcp_hostnames entries will be
converted on first boot.
- CHANGED: miniupnpd will now be supplied the public WAN
IP to improve compatibility with dual NAT
setups.
- CHANGED: Disabling Auto DoH will now also disable
Windows' new Discovery of Designated
Resolvers (DDR) feature.
- FIXED: Wrong interface might be used for the default
gateway in an openvpn client routing table.
- FIXED: Generated OpenVPN certs used SHA1 signatures
instead of SHA256 (regression from 386.1)
- FIXED: Various issues with protocol handling when
importing an ovpn client file.
- FIXED: IPv6 not working while in Dual WAN mode.
- FIXED: Failed OpenVPN client connections might sometime
be stuck with a "Connecting" state.
- FIXED: NTP sometimes failing to update at boot time
when using IPv6.
- FIXED: Changes done by firewall-start may be lost after
ddns service gets stopped when using tunnelbroker
386.3_2 (6-Aug-2021)
- NOTE: closed down the Issue tracker on Github, as 90%
of it was people asking for technical support,
or failing to use the supplied submission form.
- CHANGED: Re-disabled jitterentropy-rngd on non-HND
models. It kept using CPU time every two
seconds and had a very marginal impact on
the entropy pool (which it never could push
above the target threshold of 1024).
- CHANGED: Moved the "Redirect Internet traffic" setting on
the OpenVPN Client page to the Network Settings
section to increase its visibility, as too many
users are forgetting to configure it.
- CHANGED: Display "Internet traffic not redirected" instead
of "Public IP Unknown" on the OpenVPN Client
status display when Redirect Internet traffic
is set to "No".
- FIXED: Only the first OpenVPN client would be used if
you had multiple clients connected and the first
one had a Redirect Internet set to "No". Now,
setting this to "No" means that client's routing
table will no longer get a default gateway
configured, allowing traffic to be processed
by other RPDB tables if there wasn't a matching
route within that client's table.
- FIXED: IPV6-compatible DNSFilter servers weren't
properly configured in dnsmasq.
- FIXED: DNSFilter client rules may get corrupted after a
reboot.
386.3 (23-July-2021)
- NOTE: First time you boot into this version, you need to
either shift-reload the main index page, or clear
your browser cache.
- NEW: Introducing VPN Director, which replaces the original
policy routing management interface for OpenVPN clients.
A bit similar to Asus's own VPN Fusion, OpenVPN routing
rules are now managed through a central web interface,
and they are stored in JFFS instead of nvram, to allow
creating more rules, and free up some nvram for
nvram-limited devices such as the RT-AC68U.
See the Wiki for more information.
- NEW: Added QR codes to the networkmap as well as the Guest
Network page, to allow easily connecting a mobile
device just by scanning the QR code.
The generated QR code can also be saved as a file
if you'd like to print it.
- CHANGED: Rewrote OpenVPN routing handling. The firmware will
now handle route creation itself rather than letting
the openvpn client create/remove routes.
The new implementation brings a few changes:
- "Force Internet traffic through tunnel" can now
be set to "No", "Yes (All)" or "VPN Director".
- This setting will now override whatever setting
pushed by the server regarding gateway redirection.
- The kill switch can now be used in both "Yes" and
"VPN Director" routing modes
- Manually stopping a client will remove the kill
switch. It will now only be applied at boot time
(if client was set to start at boot), or if the
tunnel is disconnected through a non-user event
- CHANGED: Reworked OpenVPN's DNS Exclusive mode implementation
and interaction with dnsmasq.
- CHANGED: Moved OpenVPN Custom settings content to JFFS, and
increased max storage length from around 350 chars
to 4095 chars.
- CHANGED: Added support for BCM50991 used for the 2.5G
interface in newer RT-AX86U revisions.
- UPDATED: nano to 5.7.
- UPDATED: curl to 7.76.1.
- UPDATED: dnsmasq to 2.85-openssl.
- UPDATED: openvpn to 2.5.3.
- UPDATED: getdns to 1.7.0.
- UPDATED: stubby to 0.4.0.
- FIXED: Setting an OpenVPN client's DNS mode to Exclusive
could fail to work for certain configurations
- FIXED: DNS Exclusive redirections applied in Policy mode
could be executed in the wrong order if you had
overlapping policy rules in two separate clients.
- FIXED: Clients connected to Guest Network 1 couldn't be
routed through an OpenVPN tunnel.
- FIXED: Clients connected to Guest Network 1 would bypass
DNSFilter rules.
- FIXED: USB disks not properly unmounted on reboot
on some router models.
- FIXED: Missing error report on OpenVPN client connection
failure
- FIXED: profile.add getting used even if JFFS scripting
was disabled (dave14305)
- FIXED: Freedns authentication errors would not
properly be reported as errors.
386.2_6 (6-June-2021)
- NOTE: The IRC channel, #asuswrt, has moved to the
Libera IRC network (https://libera.chat/).
- UPDATED: chart.js to 2.9.4.
- UPDATED: tor to 0.4.5.8.
- UPDATED: root certificate bundle to June 5th 2021.
- FIXED: Fragattack security issues
386.2_4 (30-Apr-2021)
- NEW: Added jitterentropy-rngd to non-HND models, in addition
to HND models.
- UPDATED: OpenVPN to 2.5.2.
- UPDATED: jitterentropy-rngd to 1.2.2 (library 3.0.3)
- FIXED: Scheduled new FW checks wouldn't display the webui
notification icon when the local router had a
new release available.
- FIXED: OpenVPN server would flip into an error state (being
shown as "initializing" on the webui) whenever an
inbound client failed to connect to it.
386.2_2 (13-Apr-2021)
- FIXED: IPv6 pings were blocked if sent below the rate limit
instead of above (issue introduced in 42095)
- FIXED: kernel debuging log entry (was removed) (RT-AC86U)
- FIXED: Field that accepted a float value would reject
values equal to the allowed minimum (for example
the QoS bandwidth limits)
- FIXED: QoS Bandwidth settings were hidden on
non-HND models when accessing the QoS page.
- CHANGED: Tweaks to the Firmware Upgrade page display.
- CHANGED: Enabling DOS protection will now also rate limit
ICMPV6 echo (type 128) packets, like with IPv4.
386.2 (2-Apr-2021)
- NOTE: due to changes in how custom device icons are handled,
first time you boot with 386.2 you need to either
shift-reload the main index page, or clear your
browser cache.
- NEW: Added support for the GT-AX11000. Note that VPN Fusion,
as well as the ROG-specific features such as the custom
UI are not supported.
- NEW: Added support for the RT-AX68U.
- NEW: Added jitterentropy-rngd daemon to HND routers. This will
ensure sufficient entropy is generated early on at
boot time, reducing boot stalls caused by insufficient
entropy for the kernel's random number generator,
and also generally improves security related to
crypto operations by the router.
- NEW: Added Cake QoS for HND routers. Note that just like
Traditional QoS, this is not compatible with hardware
acceleration, and therefore might not be usable on
connections faster than around 350 Mbps (may vary based
on router models).
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 386_42095.
- UPDATED: Openssl to 1.1.1k.
- UPDATED: OpenVPN to 2.5.1.
- UPDATED: iproute2 to 5.11.0 (HND models).
- UPDATED: root certificate bundle to March 9th 2021.
- CHANGED: qos-start "init" user script now runs in blocking
mode to ensure it's able to complete any changes
it may apply to qos configs before these
configs get applied.
- FIXED: Router could get stuck at boot time after the user
migrated from stock firmware, or just erased his
JFFS partition, requiring a factory default reset.
- FIXED: ATM checkbox could not be enabled on QOS page.
- FIXED: DST not getting applied to some timezones (snauton)
- FIXED: Traditional QoS was broken in 386.1 (dave14305)
- FIXED: Connected IPSEC clients weren't shown on the VPN Status
page.
- FIXED: Userspace conntrack tool was no longer working
- FIXED: Traffic Monitor spikes for HND models. (Asus backport)
- FIXED: webui incorrectly complaining about mismatched timezone
between browser and webui for some timezones (dave14305)
- REMOVED: SSH Brute Force Protection option (already handled
by Asuswrt's protect service daemon)
386.1_2 (12-Feb-2021)
- NEW: Added snmp support to the RT-AX86U.
- UPDATED: inadyn to 2.8.1.
- UPDATED: nano to 5.5.
- CHANGED: Use local OUI database instead of remote one hosted
on Asus's server (allows queries to work even when
accessing webui over https)
- CHANGED: If dropbear cannot create keys in /jffs then
create temporary ones in /etc so SSH can work even
without a working JFFS partition.
- FIXED: Missing Game Mode on RT-AC88U
- FIXED: Non-working 160 MHz settings for RT-AC88U region/versions
that should support it
- FIXED: Missing Instant Guard to RT-AX56U and RT-AC88U.
- FIXED: IPv6 ending with "::" were considered invalid on the
webui (was breaking the Prefix field on the 6in4 tunnel
page for instance).
- FIXED: OUI lookups on site survey page not working
(for non-HND models)
- FIXED: Wifi Radar missing on GT-AC2900
- FIXED: Netools-enabled pages not used by GT-AC2900 and
RT-AX86U
- FIXED: GeForce NOW UPNP not working
- FIXED: Erasing the JFFS partition would often require a second
reboot since the operation failed when encountering
a bad block. These are now properly skipped.
- FIXED: Parental Control's time scheduler not working properly.
386.1 (30-Jan-2021)
Switched to the new 386 codebase. 386 introduces
AiMesh 2.0, finalizes the move to OpenSSL 1.1.1
firmware-wide, adds a new speedtest (powered
by Ookla). For more details, please refer
to Asus's own release notes.
- NOTE: For developers, note that firmware code is
once again back on the master branch, with
both mainline and ax being reunified again.
- NOTE: Some users upgrading might have to go through some
database maintenance on first boot, which means the
router might be slower or have a non-responsive webui
for a while.
This can take anywhere from 5 minutes up to an hour,
depending on your model, just give it time to complete
the process.
- NEW: Added support for the RT-AX86U.
- NEW: Added support for the GT-AC2900, with a few restrictions:
- Non-ROG UI is used
- VPN Fusion is not supported
- A few other ROG-specific features are not supported
This is an experiment done in collaboration with Asus.
- NEW: Added support for the RT-AC68U V3.
- NEW: Added stub and stub-v2 compression options to OpenVPN
clients. Not added to server, since compression is
considered deprecated, and will be removed most likely
in OpenVPN 2.6, for security reasons.
- NEW: Added tls-crypt-v2 support to OpenVPN clients.
- NEW: Added option to select an OpenVPN client when
running Oookla Speedtest.
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 386_41700
- UPDATED: Openssl to 1.1.1i.
- UPDATED: Updated to OpenVPN 2.5.0. Note that OpenVPN
2.4.0 or newer is now required by the exported
client config file. You can still manually
configure an older client to connect with your
router.
- UPDATED: dnsmasq to 2.84, resolving CVE-2020-25681,
CVE-2020-25682, CVE-2020-25683, CVE-2020-25687,
CVE-2020-25684, CVE-2020-25685 and
CVE-2020-25686 aka DNSpooq (themiron)

- UPDATED: dropbear to 2020.81.
- UPDATED: miniupnpd to 2.2 (git snapshot from 20201129)
- UPDATED: Switched userspace ipset from 6.32 to 7.6 (to match
with upstream)
- CHANGED: firmware update checks are no longer using the
server address stored in nvram, for security
reasons. Devs who were using that nvram
should instead edit the webs_scripts/* to
use their own URL.
- CHANGED: The old legacy cipher setting in OpenVPN is now only
available when running with static key authentication.
- CHANGED: Tweaks to the OpenVPN webui layout
- CHANGED: OpenVPN clients will now NAT all outbound traffic,
regardless of the source subnet.
- CHANGED: Reworked the display of DNSPrivacy presets

webpages to 20.
- CHANGED: Multiple routes can now be defined per client on the
OpenVPN client-specific configuration.
- CHANGED: Improved NAT acceleration report for newer models on
the sysinfo page. Now query the hardware for the
current state instead of reporting the nvram values.
- CHANGED: When logging allowed connections is enabled, also log
outbound LAN connections (reverts to the behaviour from
a few years ago)
- FIXED: DHCP could fail to renew its lease with some ISPs when
Trend Micro engine was enabled (workaround provided
by Asus)
- FIXED: OpenVPN client remote IP wasn't updated on client
stop/restart.
- FIXED: Couldn't force generating a new SSL certificate for the
webui.
- REMOVED: Option to disable NCP. The NCP cipher list is
now used both for NCP and non-NCP endpoints.
- REMOVED: fq_codel support for Adaptive QoS. Due to a change
in how Trend Micro configures QoS, it is no longer
possible to intercept these to inject fq_codel.
- REMOVED: Option to select sfq as a queue scheduler for t.QoS
or Bandwidth Limiter, and always use fq_codel.
- REMOVED: Support for the Cloudcheck mobile app.
384.19 (14-Aug-2020)
- NOTE: Due to flash partitioning changes done by Asus, it is
strongly recommended to make a backup of your JFFS
partition before upgrading the RT-AC86U, and restoring
that backup afterward. If you run into issues,
reformat your JFFS partition and reboot.
- NOTE: The RT-AX56U build is not available for this release.
- NEW: Added support for static routes for PPTP/L2TP VPN
clients, on the Static Route page (themiron)
- NEW: Added notification when JFFS free space drops
below 3 MB.
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 384_9354 for AX models.
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 384_81992 for mainline models.

- UPDATED: Merged binary blobs + SDK 384_81992 for RT-AC86U.
- UPDATED: Merged bwdpi components from 385_20630 firmware
image for RT-AC68U.
- UPDATED: dnsmasq to 2.82-openssl (themiron)
- CHANGED: Rewrote a large portion of the OpenVPN implementation,
to make the code easier to maintain. The new libovpn
code is released under a GPL licence. Functionality
should largely remain the same.
- CHANGED: Replaced updown-*.sh OpenVPN event handler scripts
with binary libovpn functions. The new code does
stricter validation of the configuration.
- CHANGED: Enabling Client Config Dir (ccd) for an OpenVPN
server in non-exclusive mode will no longer accept
duplicate common names (to prevent issues with
two clients trying to share the same settings).
If you need such an unusual setup, you should
enable "Username/Password auth only", which will
make the common name become the username. Or
better, ensure that you have unique certificates
for all of your users.
- CHANGED: Removed the (undocumented) vpn_debug setting. Debug
logging will now only come from OpenVPN itself
(configurable through the log verbosity setting).
- CHANGED: Improved mechanism for providing an available
mount point for addon API scripters (dave14305)
- CHANGED: Harmonized the various SSL certificate modes with
upstream.
0-None - will be self-generated
1-Imported - lets you upload your own (no longer
self generated unless you don't
upload one)
2-Let's Encrypt (unchanged)
Self-generated cert will be stored to /jffs/cert.tgz,
just like upstream.
- FIXED: Broken French webui on AX models (fixed with
Asus's GPL update)
- FIXED: Chacha20 wasn't prioritized for bcm675x models which
lacked AES acceleration (RT-AX56U and RT-AX58U)
- FIXED: ddns updates and OpenVPN instances might be launched
twice at boot time if the initial ntp clock sync
happened too fast.
- FIXED: Enforced DNS and tQoS fix would be lost when the
firewall gets restarted while an OpenVPN client
is running.
- FIXED: Various issues surrounding error state report
when an OpenVPN client failed to start properly.
- FIXED: WINS provided by an OpenVPN server weren't properly
used.
- FIXED: Some large DNS queries could fail when using DoT
(patch backported from upstream)
384.18 (28-June-2020)
- NOTE: A number of changes for some models are not backward
compatible with previous versions. Downgrading to
a previous release will require a factory default reset
afterward in many cases.
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 384_8563 for AX models.
- UPDATED: Merged GPL 384_81918 for mainline models.
- UPDATED: Merged SDK + binary blobs 384_81918 for RT-AC86U.

- UPDATED: OUI database used by the webui.
- UPDATED: Dropbear 2020.80 (themiron)
- UPDATED: nano to 4.9.3.
- CHANGED: Optimized OpenVPN routing policy storage (this change
is NOT backward compatible with previous firmwares)
- FIXED: ssh/scp client would fail to connect while negotiating
a chacha20 connection (themiron)
384.13_10 (28-June-2020)
This release will most likely be the last release for the
RT-AC87U and RT-AC3200, due to limited upstream support.
- UPDATED: amtm to 3.1.7.
- UPDATED: Root certificate bundle to June 3rd 2020.
- UPDATED: OUI database used by the webui.
- UPDATED: Dropbear 2020.80 (themiron)
- UPDATED: Wireless driver from 382_52230 for RT-AC87U and
RT-AC3200 (should in theory address Kr00k)
- FIXED: ssh/scp client would fail to connect while negotiating
a chacha20 connection (themiron)
384.17 (26-Apr-2020)
Updating some models (like the RT-AC88U) from stock firmware
3.0.0.4.384_81790 and newer will require a factory default reset
after flashing Asuswrt-Merlin, due to a change in how Asus
stores the admin password starting with 384_81790.
- NEW: Add Chacha20-poly1305 support to dropbear (themiron)
- UPDATED: dnsmasq to 2.81-openssl (themiron)

384.15 (8-Feb-2020)
The RT-AC87U and RT-AC3200 are not supported by this release, see
the 384.13_4 release released separately for these two models.
- NEW: wan-event script. The first parameter will be the WAN unit
(0 for first WAN, 1 for secondary). The second parameter
will be a string describing the type of event (init,
connected, etc...). A wan-event of type "connected" will
be identical to when the original wan-start script was
being run (wan-start should be considered deprecated
and will be removed in a future release)
- NEW: Implemented an official API for addon developers to
better integrate with the router. This includes up
to ten different pages that can be added anywhere within
the webui, and a dedicated storage repository for your
settings, which can be interacted with through your
custom web page or through a shell script.
See the Wiki for more information:
https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Addons-API
- NEW: amtm (Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu) by thelonelycoder has
been added to the firmware. Running "amtm" over SSH will
give you a menu allowing you to select and install various
addons, such as Diversion (ad blocker) or SKynet (an
advanced firewall extension). The plugins for amtm are
still maintained by its original author (thelonelycoder).

time, or completely disable it.
- NEW: Added "split" busybox applet.
- NEW: Added IPv6 support to Network Analysis webui
- NOTE: You might need to reconfigure your device hostname on the
LAN -> LAN IP page due to a GPL-level change (exclusing
the RT-AX88U)
- UPDATED: RT-AX88U to GPL 384_6436 (with Let's Encrypt fixes
backported from 384_81351)
