AsusWrt-Merlin Firmware 3.0.0.4.376.44 for RT-AC56S Description

IMPORTANT:

Make a backup of your JFFS partition if upgrading an RT-AC56U or RT-AC68U and you have stored files on that partition! The partition layout has been changed.

Fixes:

- NEW: Merged with Asus's 376_2044 GPL.
- NEW: Added new networkmap, lets users edit device names, assign icons to devices, etc...
- CHANGED: Reworked IPv6 support
- NEW: Added new filesystem driver provider for NTFS/HFS+/FAT
- CHANGED: Webui visual update
- CHANGED: Updated components (minidlna, radvd, dnsmasq)
- NEW: Added support for RT-AC87U.
- CHANGED: Updated N66U wireless driver to Asus's 1071 build
- CHANGED: Updated miniupnpd to Git head (as of 20140731)
- CHANGED: The JFFS partition on ARM devices now uses Asus's code, which means the whole unused space is now used for the JFFS partition. (AC56, AC68)
- CHANGED: Made all ARM models use the new filesystem drivers from Tuxera, resulting in general improved USB disk performance (and hopefully improved reliability as well) (AC56, AC68)
- CHANGED: The wifi notification icon will now report channel and channel width for the 5 GHz band, as the extension channel wasn't always accurately reported.
- CHANGED: Reworked layout of SSH settings on System page (based on Asus's own WIP)
- CHANGED: Allow FQDN (hostname + domain) rather than just hostnames on the WAN page (some ISPs require that)
- FIXED: Missing mDNSResponder daemon preventing mt-daapd from working on MIPS devices (N16, N66, AC66)
- FIXED: System Log wouldn't properly be positioned at the bottom (Patch by John9527)
- FIXED: DNSFilter clients configured to bypass DNSFilter would still be prevented from using an IPv6 DNS.
- FIXED: Incorrect IPv6 prefix if not a multiple of 8 (patch by NickZ)
- FIXED: OpenVPN firewall cleanup was missing rules (patch by sinshiva)
- FIXED: Minidlna issues with Philips smart TVs
- FIXED: SSHD brute force protection wasn't working if Dual WAN was enabled and set to LB mode.
- FIXED: Miniupnpd error flood in Syslog when using a Plex server on your LAN (fix from upstream)
- REMOVED: Reverted various IPv6-related patches as they conflicted with Asus's own changes. These might make it back at a later time if deemed necessary.
- REMOVED: Removed layer7 filtering support in Netfilter from ARM devices due to compatibility issues (AC56, AC68)
- REMOVED: Removed IPsec support from ARM devices due to compatibility issues (AC56, AC68)

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
