I do agree...
I meant about manually updating entware package to 4.99.1...and just mentioned pre-git 5.00...
This is only good for routers that dont have it already pre-installed, which is not the situation here.
in any case version 5.0.0 (forget the pre-git implication of instability it doesn't always apply.) is a major revision tick on the old semantic versioning system, yes these numbers have meanings. https://devopedia.org/semantic-versioning if you didn't know this already
There are projects that use what appears to be semantic versioning, that dont understand or agree or follow this standard, but we dont care about just anyone shouting outside the sky is falling either.
So back ontopic about why the version are wrong, BS doesn't care, it works is all he cares, so unless someone submits a patch or cares to, it wont be fixed.

And used to be (not sure on practices these days), even numbers were favored over odd, i.e. 2.0.2 was "stable", while 2.0.1 was "not". This is why Linux 2.0 ended at 2.0.40, 2.2 ended at 2.2.26; not sure why 2.4 ended at 2.4.37.11, 2.6 LTS ended at 2.6.32.71 (although 2.6 mainline ended at 2.6.39.4, but still it should have ended at 2.6.40.x)... anyway, good ol' semantics. Toh-MAY-toh, toh-MAH-toh. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Tested with dd-wrt.v24-47976_NEWD-2_K3.x-{big,mega}-RT-N66U.trx
There is a way to extract from the build, but big was already installed on another same rev. router. Alternative: install big, save the above files, reinstall mega.
