Based on 19.07 stable branch commit 312c056 which is a few commits ahead of 19.07.6. Compared to my previous release, this one has thus some fixes, some of which are important security ones. Others are regarding stability (fingers crossed).

Besides that:

  • updated mt76 driver, although it has nothing significant concerning this device from upstream stable 19.07 branch, but I've backported a small fix from master version about a possible memory leak
  • hopefully fixed kernel packages on the repo not being installable from LuCI (it still complains because it tries to be smart, but what matters is that is works when it invokes opkg install)
  • introduced a few tweaks based on the work of @db260179 to try to bring support to some variants where previously the router would not read from the flash and thus got bricked

As always:

  • minimal testing was done (on my only router, for my personal needs); use at your own risk as no one here will be responsible if your router bricks or if your cat gets sick, etcetera, etcetera
  • if you're only looking to flash or upgrade, you only need the openwrt-ramips-mt7621-xiaomi_mir3g-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin file
  • config-*-tar.gz is only for showing what config file and custom repo additions were used during build; if you don't know what that means, you don't need it
