Version 1.5.4 & 1.4.7

Post by Eric »

New in 1.5.4:
  • Bumps OpenWrt version to latest Backfire version for latest wireless fixes and support of multiple switch models in Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH routers
  • New improved version of Active Congestion Controller. Paul has done OUTSTANDING work on this, and there is now fairly comprehensive QoS documentation on the wiki!
  • Implements ability to configure router as a Tor Relay/Bridge including ability to configure an Obfsproxy bridge (for routers that support Tor)
  • Implements ability to connect to Tor bridge (including Obfsproxy bridge) instead of directly to a relay (for routers that support Tor)
  • Allows monitoring of total Tor Bandwidth usage (for routers that support Tor)
  • Allows access to Tor hidden service addresses from all hosts (toggled and untoggled) when Tor is active and separately toggled for each host (for routers that support Tor)
  • Allows monitoring of bandwidth to/from router itself, which was before included in the "Total" categories, but not recorded seperately
  • Option to attempt to save configuration when upgrading. Some versions may still be incompatible.
  • Fixes monitoring of web history/searches for ranges of IPs
  • Some fixes for mounting/formatting of USB drives
  • Fixes security issue -- bandwidth.csv is no longer visible if not logged in
  • Adds two new optional date formats: dd.mm.yy and yyyy-mm-dd
  • Enable ps wide output in busybox -- allows more accurate listing of running processes when logged in via SSH
  • Sets cron loglevel to 9 so syslog doesn't show every time a cronjob runs (which can quickly clutter up the system log)
New in 1.4.7:
  • Bumps OpenWrt version to latest Backfire version for latest wireless fixes and support of multiple switch models in Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH routers
  • Fixes monitoring of web history/searches for ranges of IPs
  • Fixes security issue -- bandwidth.csv is no longer visible if not logged in

I just figured out how to get this compiled on the new version
of Debian Wheezy - or maybe its Sid - and a new version comes out!

I'll try out my compile this evening and then try out these versions!

Only thing I could not get installed was uglifyjs but I'm hoping
the compiled versions will still flash in the size limits.

it is only possible to install uglifyjs on debian experimental.

Just FYI, even though you see a warning message if you don't have uglifyjs installed, it will still build fine if you don't have it. The warning is just a warning, not an error -- it won't crash the build.

Yep, it built just fine. Just the binaries are a little larger
than normal, so may affect flashing on certain routers.

I'll try it on mine when I get home and see if any difference.

I did it off the 2/29 GIT at about 11PM Pacific that night.

So I think it should be near identical to this release version.

Loaded fine on a 3700v2.

Like the look of the new QOS/ACC 8-)

Great work guys.

I always seem to have problems taking my v3700v2 to the next version. Even had the work around to keep the config from 1.5.3. In the end I just loaded 1.5.4 and setup config which takes all of 5 mins and it all works a treat.

Still not quite understanding some of the new qos - much reading to be done :)

Is it intentional that every time you save settings it drops the internet?

after some saves the router needs to get rebooted, so yes internet drops.

tals, hnl_dk: The router is only rebooted in a few very rare cases.

However, for some (but not all) sections, the network needs to be restarted after settings are saved which does involve a connection drop. The network should come right back up afterwards, though.
