Latest Merlin to update or not to update

[royarcher]

I have updated to the latest Merlin 384.14.0 firmware without any grief . Lately I have noticed people talking about Merlin 384.14.2 After a bit of research I found the notes regarding the difference between.0&.2 I run an Asus RT AC 88 U and as mentioned no problems does the.2 version refer to all Asus models eg should I upload the.2 version or is it specifically a fix for some models

Jan 1st: 384.14_2 is available for the RT-AC68U, RT-AC88U/3100/5300 and RT-AC86U, addressing a few issues specific to these models. Changes since 384.14:

  - FIXED: Missing cifs kernel module
  - FIXED: stubby was linked with OpenSSL 1.0 instead of 1.1
  - FIXED: some routers were reporting the Internet connection being
           disconnected.  If you were affected and you had flashed
           a customized bootloader, then please reflash your original
           bootloader, as your modded bootloader is invalid, and other
           potential issues may appear over time.
  - FIXED: Random traffic spikes logged in Traffic Monitor (regression
           from 384_81351)
