[WARNING]: This thread is only for feedback on this beta release for developers and the community's benefit.
DO NOT flash this beta release unless you understand the risks involved and specific device recovery methods.
Avoid discussions! Create threads for questions, general problems or use search; this thread is not for support.
Please list router model & revision, operating & wireless mode(s) and exact filename/firmware image flashed.
Notes:
• CVE-2019-14899 VPN fix from December, since then various revisions including recently 7040.
• In-kernel Samba has been implemented this year and default min/max versions have changed, with WSD support.
• VAP issue is fixed! For any Wireless Mode, create a VAP and both ath0/ath1 should now function properly.
• Local DNS option removed from Services->DNSMasq in changesets 43080 and 43081; ref: #7092
• DHCP and DNS help (English) updated in 43083; ref: #7091
• WireGuard: Policy Based Routing, Kill Switch, Inbound Firewall, Naming of Peers, Status, Key, Guides. Thanks egc!
Issues:
• There may be remaining issues for Samba (for example NTFS), with frequent updates.
Important:
• If reporting issues provide applicable info: 'dmesg', 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages', syslog/serial output, strace etc.
• For firewall issues provide 'iptables -L', 'iptables -t nat -L' and the /tmp/.ipt file.
• Search existing SVN tickets before opening a new one. Before reporting, reset and manually setup (no nvram backup).
• Be sure to include operating and wireless modes (Gateway, AP, CB, etc.) along with relevant configuration information.
With encryption required my JFFS2 SMB share is not accessible. The router itself sees it allright, which is fortunate as my dnsmasq.leases file is on it.
My laptop, which I access the SMB share from, runs Linux 19.3. Protocol requirement currently SMB 3.11 only. Just because
(Without the leases file, the router will not work under the current settings.)
Otherwise this build, too, works fine for me.
The rubbish characters in the JFFS2 info are still there, though:

The JFFS2 share is on a 2GB USB thumb memory stick. Does that change anything?
Linux Mint 19.3 alright. Sorry. I mentioned it because mrjcd wrote that he tested the share from a machine running Debian Testing. Linux Mint is based on Debian, but more likely a stable version.
For the rest I wasn't even aware of the encryption, or what exactly it does, but figured it's easy to test and I don't risk much, so ahead I went and sure enough requiring encryption caused a problem.
I have also dnsmasq.common on that thumb drive, which is why I need the SMB access.
Does that make sense?
As to the rubbish characters ... I see them in two places and assumed they're a result of a formatting error in the GUI. I don't know what you're alluding to as for the reason.

out of 2 Wireguard peer Peer 1 is connecting but not able to view any internal IP. second peer works Fine.
Update on wireguard: both peers are working now. during firmware update, somewhere allowed IP's messed up by me. now corrected.
Overall this build is working good so far, Thank you BrainSlayer.

Never assume that any Debian-based distribution is more stable than any Debian version. That is completely nonsense!

with no GUI use unit stay's stable...as a conclusion there must be a GUI related mem-leak ...it was not rebooting on 43443 but it was going low ram...in fact the last couple of builds its going low ram but never drops bellow
14-15MB now it dropped...rebooted
is DB ed25519 finally working or it will be present only on high flash size units...(shame) its 8k kode.. _________________ Atheros

The thumb drive should be much longer lasting than NVRAM when it is written to often, shouldn't it? Plus the thumb drive is exchangeable.
I never looked into it nor thought about it, but perhaps it is possible to not write the leases file anywhere, and therefore keep it in RAM only. I have the static leases in a file anyway. Never mind the others.

There was less than 1 MB on the thumb drive JFFS partition. Adding a random file indeed solved the rubbish characters.
/* Ed25519 is faster than ECDSA. Compiling in Ed25519 code increases
binary size - around 7,5kB on x86-64 */
#define DROPBEAR_ED25519 0
Code:
/* Enable Curve25519 for key exchange. This is another elliptic
* curve method with good security properties. Increases binary size
* by ~8kB on x86-64 */
#define DROPBEAR_CURVE25519 0
Code:
/* Enable elliptic curve Diffie Hellman key exchange, see note about
* ECDSA above */
#define DROPBEAR_ECDH 0
It probably won't be due to the number of low-resource routers supported by this firmware. The only option would to be remove dropbear functionality altogether in them to support this or have separate default options based on flash size restrictions as ed25519 adds to the binary size.

It is Debian-unstable. I was being a smartass. I used to apt-pin packages from different Debian trees to get around limitations in older versions of Debian back in the day. Ian Murdock was a good guy. I was sad to hear of his passing. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Changing anything on webif page '.../NAS.asp' you will have to reboot this guy
cause samba won't come back up ...no problem on the EA8500.
AFAIK it has been that way for quite a while on the 3700v4.

all on both these units is working okydokey
samba with encryption don't work for me since r43420 ---
NOTE: samba encryption must be off to mount drive if using OS Debian Testing (Bullseye/Sid)
see ---> https://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/7153 AND yea, samba encrytion works fine with r43420

It seems to be a poor idea to untick both client lease storage options and have the leases supposedly in RAM memory only, in my case at least.
I found my DNS server (PiHole) doesn't get a name on the LAN automatically no matter how I shut down, wait and restart router and DNS server.
I have to keep DNSMasq.leases in a place where I can edit it and add a line for it manually, so I can SSH to the DNS server and use its name in the address of its GUI. Once added, the line will stay there.
That's why I use JFFS on the thumb drive.
Once I noticed its MAC had suddenly been converted to lower case, so perhaps the DNS server will eventually be added automatically if one has a ton of patience.
