Question about new release cycle

[westmc]

@RMerlin, you mentioned possibly having to switch to different releases for different routers. I'm just curious how that will work. For example, I'm running 378_56_2 on the AC68 which is based off 378.9177 and I see that 380_57 is based off 380.858 (currently just for the AC88/AC3100). The source for 378.9313 has been released by Asus for the AC68. Will there be an update for the AC68 that includes that or will it have to wait until Asus releases new source for the AC68 based off something >= 380.858?

I will release for whichever model is compatible using the latest GPL code from Asus. Maintaining multiple parallel branches is far too much work. You've seen an example on how it would work when 378.56 was released without RT-N66U support. 378.56_2 got RT-N66U support back.

380_858 works for other models already, I just haven't tested them all yet.
