[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 device specificrecovery 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.
Issues, observations, and/or workarounds reported:
• DNScrypt 1.95 can still be used in the GUI, but v2 (not compatible) requires Golang and thus Entware. #6246
• WDS does not work on Broadcom ARM devices(only MIPS<->MIPS) & bridge modes on k4.4 devices may sometimes work
in some configurations for certain builds but are not supported by the bcmdhd driver. Use client or repeater instead.
• VAPs not working at bootfixed for unbridged VAPs in40562 - 40566. Effective startup commandsdiscussion thread is here.
• If start-up scripts do not work from USB add a delay, e.g. wait script or 'sleep 25'.
• Broadcom ARM devices if 5 GHz channels are missing, via Telnet/SSH: 'nvram set brcm_unlock=1' 'nvram commit' 'reboot'
• Show us your findings with steps to reproduce, configuration, output, logs and important information below!
Important:
• For issues provide applicable info: 'dmesg', 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages', syslog, klog, serial, strace, tcpdump, wireshark etc.
• Any firewall NAT or WAN issues, show output: 'iptables -vnL', 'iptables -t nat -vnL', 'iptables -t mangle -vnL' and /tmp/.ipt file.
• Search SVN tickets & discuss in forum before opening. Before reporting: reset & manually set up, not restore from a backup.
• Please include operating & wireless modes (e.g. Gateway, Router, AP, CB, WDS, Mesh) & relevant configuration information.

Is this size history generated by some script or compiled manually? sorry for off topic
It's a hand-made list. You can always use FTP or HTTP protocol to programmatically build the same list from DD-WRT's file servers! But then you will need to write codes! I am in lazy mode/mood currently...
Anyway, DD-WRT development team should have a script to check the size of new firmware for each router to catch abnormaly or maybe viruses. It's a really simple sometimes naive program. The same script could compute checksum(or hash value) for each firmware file so that people could easily check their download.

if your mode/mood changes and you have the code (either fully working or partially working), please share

Has fixed the missing ext2.o modules that was causing SD/MMC Mod to fail on my WRT54G-TM, but has broken the something else.
SD/MMC mod worked in r46177 as long as you extracted the firmware, added ext2.o to /lib/modules/2.4.37/ and rebuilt.
Now although ext2.o is where it should be, there is no Card Info in the GUI and it fails to mount. I suspect one of the other revisions added has broken something else, when just getting the ext2.o mod back where it should be did the job before.

Can't promise, shall do when it happens, magically maybe!!
