[RMerlin Alpha Builds] Question

[AntonK]

Hi,

How do we know if the Alpha Builds have been updated. I noticed that the various router alpha build .zip files had time stamps on Onedrive of "15 days ago". Now they're saying "yesterday at 3.**am" The zip file names are the exact same though.

Thanks,
Anton

No they are not the same
These are test builds of the "Mainline" and "Master" branchs on Github, which incorporates for some models the new GPL 45149 and they were compiled 2 days ago.
g67f9006e5 is the last commit done on Mainline branch (384.9_alpha1-g67f9006e5) GPL 45149
https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/commits/mainline

The branch Master (384.9_alpha1-gc9b15c516) if I understand well, do not have GPL 45149 yet, and still work under the 32799 GPL,but has been updated 2 days ago also with some changes and fixes. ( the one I'm currently using until the future problems on 45149 appears and repaired) Compiled myself for Ac86

.zip files had time stamps on Onedrive of "15 days ago".

Yes and it was only for RT-AX88 and it was dated 10 dec

Thanks, but I'm not sure what all the above means. If the .zip files have the exact same string as a filename, though their timestamps have changed (for whatever reason), are the new timestamp versions updates or not. And no, the timestamp changed for not only the AX88, but all the others as well, regardless of the exact timestamps.
