@RMerlin the git hash on the builds doesn’t match anything on the GH 386_x branch. Do you have some local commits not pushed yet?
The hash was modified after building the images because I edited the last commit during compile (was missing a few notes in the changelog file). The code matches commit b222da8f86.
 
Flawless dirty upgrade here!
Thanks Eric!!
 
And again ... smooth sailing on another upgrade. Apart from a snappy response I noticed that the signal strength of the radios slightly increased.

Not likely all wifi is closed source and this new release is still based on the same GPL as 386.9 firmware.
 
I know it is closed source but still I can only share what I measure which is more than likely.
 
Dirty upgrade from 386.9, all seems okay.

Lots of these messages in the log:

Also, temperatures on this 86U are 3C lower.

Radios and CPU? If so, that's a good thing...and *may* have something to do with the better wifi strength noted by someone above. (optimization that leads to efficiencies can have interesting side effects and I'm open to having that be one if this is the case)
 
I cannot ssh to my NAS with this build.
No issue with 386.9_0.

Code:
ssh: Connection to admin@192.168.1.4:22 exited: No matching algo hostkey

No problem with SSH'ing into a RT-AC68U, a NAS, and two Raspberry Pi's, post dirty update to 386.10 Alpha1.

One question @RMerlin , how do you format your release notes/changelogs? I see they are neat, I always thought there was some software that would do this, I might need it, I was writing a script recently and wanted to write a neat log like you did.

Don't tell me you typed the line break manually lol.



This might be a bit off topic, but thanks as always for anything you put into this project.

Probably new build is incompatible my old Dlink Share Center.
DSS key support has been removed due to being long deprecated for security reasons.
 
Handwritten in nano (hence the occasional typos).

I always thought that neat segmentation and layout like this was a function provided by some kind of text editor.

All handwritten under the terminal! my goodness, it's amazing.
 
I was writing a script recently and wanted to write a neat log like you did.
I wonder how ChatGPT would do if provided a git shortlog and asked to generate a readable changelog out of it

I need to try that once I get back home...

I grew up on C64 BBSes, not mobile texting or typing in WhatsApp :)
