Notes on Version Numbering
For a while, the only changelog for Gargoyle was the revision log in the SVN repository. However, as of v1.0.12, a change log is being provided with each new release. Below is a complete changelog, including versions for which a changelog was not initially provided, reconstructed from the revision log in the SVN repository.
Between v1.0.0 Beta4 and v1.0.0 Final, “bleeding edge” releases were provided, so users could easily try the latest code, even though a new major version had not been released. However, the lack of version numbers to differentiate the bleeding edge firmware caused some problems. So, after v1.0.0 it was announced that the 1.X.0 releases would be major, stable releases while 1.X.Y, where Y is nonzero would be equivalent to the less stable bleeding edge firmware.
However, this system caused problems as well since this is not a typical version numbering scheme and everyone automatically upgraded to the latest version. When significant experimental changes were introduced in version 1.0.5 (in particular a new implementation of the bandwidth monitor) most people went ahead and upgraded, and ran into problems. The problems were rapidly identified and fixed, but larger experimental changes such as this should not be introduced into what everyone considers the latest stable version.
Therefore, this numbering scheme has changed yet again. No more large, experimental changes will be introduced into the 1.0.X releases. 1.0.X will be considered stable. A new branch, 1.1.X has been created and should be considered experimental. All large changes will be introduced into this branch. More generally, Gargoyle will adopt a version system where 1.Y.X releases are stable if Y is even, and experimental if Y is odd. (So 1.0.X, 1.2.X, 1.4.X etc. will be stable while 1.1.X, 1.3.X, 1.5.X etc. will be experimental.)
Changelog
v1.7.1 (Sat Feb 28, 2015)
One of the most-requested features for a while has been support for a Guest Wireless Network. This feature is now implemented in 1.7.1.
Two important limitations exist with this feature, as currently implemented in 1.7.1:
(1) Unlike some implementations of this feature, there isn't a separate subnet defined for the guest network, the hosts are isolated using ebtables rules instead of using a separate subnet which means that the guest network shares the same range of IP addresses as the primary access point. The downside to this is that you can't match only guest-network IPs very easily with quotas/qos etc. Further releases will implement ways to match only the guest network in the Quotas and QoS sections but for now this is not possible.
(2) I don't recommend trying to use ap+client mode if you're going to enable the guest network. My experience is that it will work for a while and then become very unstable. I will investigate to see if there is a way to fix this, but I may disable enabling the guest network altogether when in ap+client mode.
In addition to guest network support, there are numerous bugfixes in this release, for issues identified in 1.7.0. Most of the minor (and one or two more major issues) that were identified after moving to the Barrier Breaker branch of OpenWRT have now been addressed.
New in 1.7.1:
Guest Network Support
Support for WAN connection via QMI
Fixes several bugs preventing OpenVPN from working properly
Fixes display of second 5GHz band SSID on Status/Overview page of dual band routers
Fixes USB Printer Support
Fixes Button Handlers
Fixes 3G support by fixing test to determine whether 3G device exists
Fixes issue with restarting minidlna
Add citynetwork.se ddns provider
Fixes issue with throttling hosts exceeding quotas being assigned the wrong QoS class
v1.7.0 (Mon Jan 05, 2015)
based on OpenWRT Barrier Breaker is now officially released.
Do NOT try to preserve settings between previous releases and 1.7.0 – The new configuration files for Barrier Breaker are different than previous versions of OpenWRT and you will likely brick your router!
This released focused merely on updating the functionality available on 1.6.2 to run on the more recent version of OpenWRT, and the primary benefit you will see is newer wireless drivers and the availability of Gargoyle for a much larger range of router models.
One important note: Wireless AC capability is not supported in this release. The hardware of some supported models has this capability, but software support is currently not available for Gargoyle.
There was a recent patch contributed that will enable guest network support – that is not included in this release, but now that porting to Barrier Breaker is complete this will be merged and will be available in the next release.
This release marks the first release in a the new 1.7.x Experimental branch, and may be buggier than previous releases in the 1.6.x stable branch. I have tried to test well, but I anticipate there may be a few bugs remaining. Please report any bugs – in particular bugs that were not present in previous releases – in the thread below.
v1.6.2 (Tue Aug 26, 2014)
New in 1.6.2:

v1.6.1 (Sat Apr 19, 2014)
Version 1.6.1 is primarily a bugfix release. A fix for the recent heartbleed openssl bug is included, along with several other non-security related fixes and improvements.
Only routers that were using the Tor or OpenVPN functionality in Gargoyle were vulnerable to the heartbleed bug. Anyone who is using either of these applications is strongly advised to upgrade.
Also, functionality to clear out old OpenVPN keys and certificates has been introduced (disable OpenVPN, then click “Clear All Existing OpenVPN keys”). It is strongly recommended that anyone running an OpenVPN server on a router that was potentially vulnerable to heartbleed, take advantage of this functionality and regenerate all of their keys and certificates. The primary reason for the slight delay in this release from when heartbleed was first disclosed was to implement this functionality. Since OpenVPN is one of only two vulnerable applications, it made sense to make sure the ability to clear old, vulnerable keys was implemented along with the fix for the bug itself.
New in 1.6.1:
Fixes “heartbleed” bug in OpenSSL, OpenSSL upgraded to 1.0.1g which is not vulnerable
Ability to clear old keys and certificates when OpenVPN is disabled implemented
New option to explicitly block nonOpenVPN traffic in OpenVPN Client, preventing problems if OpenVPN connection dies

Rearrange plots in bandwidth usage screen, so the upload and download plots are small and displayed above the larger total plot. Each plot can then be expanded in a new window. This helps visualize all three plots at once.
Decrease max number of intervals labeled on bandwidth plots, so interval labels never overlap, which sometimes previously made them look messy and unreadable
Fix bug that can sometimes cause problems when restoring old bandwidth monitor data
Fix bug preventing bandwidth distribution pie charts from displaying correctly in Opera and Chrome
v1.1.1 (Nov 02, 2009)
