It is recommended that you do not attempt to preserve settings when upgrading to this version. A config incompatibility can cause various problems including reboot loops.
If you backup and restore config, do so manually, excluding the file httpd_gargoyle.

Reason:Added recommendation to not preserve settings OR restore settings
There are no improvements in this release that are likely to make a big difference with respect to bandwidth issues people are seeing.
The bandwidth issues that are being reported in 1.7.X but are not present in 1.6.2 are entirely the result of issues with the Barrier Breaker branch of OpenWRT, nothing Gargoyle changed/added to it. I attempted to backport a fix from Chaos Calmer into this release, but that fix does not seem to work very well, although it is included in this release. You will probably have to wait for support for Chaos Calmer before these issues are fully addressed. Until then your best bet to optimize for maximum bandwidth throughput is to stick with 1.6.2.
When formatting a pendrive within gargoyle, the option to tick/select is supposed to set up automatically the entire process of extrooting?
if yes, in latest 1.7.X Built 20150207, on my WR1043ND it didn't work.
has it been fixed? could it be related to something else?
otherwise let me know if I simply should set extroot manually...
will try this new build as soon as I find time!
Tp-Link WR1043ND v1.4 using Gargoyle 1.7.2
Tp-Link WDR3600 v1.5 using OpenWRT CC by SamKnows
You seem to of fixed one of the problems with the adblock script that I had when putting in the script in to etc manually. That being that upon reboot no ads were being blocked, and to get ads blocked i wood have to run the script again.
Can you help someone else get Gargoyle up and running? TL-WDR3600 : Gargoyle 1.9.0 : NBN FixedWireless
TL-WR1043ND-V2 : Gargoyle 1.8.0 : 3G Huawei E160E

I would guess yes.
No major config changes between 1.7.X and 1.7.2
I would recommend that users upgrading from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2 do so without preserving settings. This is due to the change in web servers.
Manually backing up settings and applying them 1 at a time leaving out httpd_gargolye should work ok.
I could be wrong about this I just don't remember how they interact.
