Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.11 Beta is now available

[RMerlin]

Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.11 beta is now available. The focus of this release is merging a new GPL (largely security fixes), the removal of AiCloud due to repeated security issues, and the new Traffic Monitor redesign that was initially introduced in 3006.102.

Changes:

3004.388.11 (xx-xxx-2025)
  - NOTE: AiCloud has been removed from Asuswrt-Merlin due
          to its poor security track record.  This also includes
          cloud syncing features such as Asuswebstorage or
          Dropbox syncing with USB folder.  Use a VPN if you
          need secure remote access to your data.

  - NOTE: For developers, the Tomato legacy files (tm*.*)
          are no longer included with the webui.  Please
          update your addon pages accordingly.

  - NEW: Redesigned Traffic Monitor pages.
         - Uses Chart.js for Realtime and Last24 pages
         - Removes legacy Tomato code
         - Last 24 can be zoomed in and panned (mouse wheel
           and pinch-to-zoom gestures are both supported)
         - Realtime and Last 24 now show as bits/s instead
           of bytes/s
         - Settings moved from the tab to the dropdown menu
         - Removed NVRAM database location option and added
           JFFS.  Also removed rarely used start-of-month
           setting.

  - UPDATED: Merged GPL 388_25575.
  - UPDATED: OpenVPN to 2.6.17.
  - UPDATED: libcap-ng to 0.8.4 (to be in sync with upstream)
  - UPDATED: Dropbear to 2025.89.
  - UPDATED: nettle to 3.10.2.
  - CHANGED: TrafficMonitor stats can now be saved to JFFS,
             and removed support for saving to NVRAM.
  - FIXED: IPv6 blocking of DoT servers (dave14305)
  - REMOVED: outdated setuprsa.sh script.
  - REMOVED: AiCloud support, due to security reasons.

Same here, smooth upgrade, no issues.
I think, but cannot measure it. The os feels a little faster....

Point of clarification... is the format of the saved Traffic Monitor history file (.gz file) changing or just the display generated from the data? I currently read daily totals from the history file with a script...just assessing whether I've got a re-write forthcoming.

Only the display changed. There was no changes to the rstats process that populates the database.

Hello, is the IPTV still removed from the settings, in LAN tab? If so, is there any option to set VLAN ID for pppd (DUAL-WAN and failover)? Thanks for the answer!

"still removed"? It's never been removed. Perhaps you're thinking of the 3.0.0.6 firmware branch? Which router model do you have?

AX58U. I wrongly expressed myself, sorry. I mean functionality of DUAL-WAN, when IPTV (VLAN) is configured. On 3004.388.10_2 there was no option to configure DUAL-WAN, when IPTV was set. I contacted with "awesome" Asus support, and they confirmed that they removed this feature. My question is - how it works now? Can I use DUAL-WAN (failover), when IPTV (VLAN ID) is configured or Asus made this "super-improvement" permanently? Currently I'm running on 3004.388.9_2, where the failover works. Could anyone confirm how it looks? Thanks!

AFAIK nothing has changed regarding IPTV in 3004.388. Asus support are wrong. The IPTV setting was changed 3006.102.
