[BRIDGE]: sysfs locking fix

[tomato.git] / CHANGELOG

Tomato USB Mod (ND version)
===========================

build 01 - 12/17/2008
---------------------

Based on the official Tomato 1.23 ND.

Added support for USB 1.1 (OHCI and UHCI) and USB 2.0.

USB support is configurable via Tomato GUI.

USB storage (Ext2, Ext3 and FAT file systems) and USB printing support.

Non-spooling printer server (p910nd 0.92) is included and started
automatically if you enable printing support. Bidirectional copying can
be disabled via GUI if it causes problems with your printer.

Fixed slow running clock problem on Asus WL-520GU. After flashing this
firmware you have to reboot the router at least once for clock to get
fixed.

UPnP is disabled by default.

Added CGI support to HTTP daemon - you can place your cgi scripts into
"/www/ext/cgi-bin" folder, and they will be executed when you access them
via http://<router_ip>/ext/cgi-bin/my_script_name.


build 02 - 12/20/2008
---------------------

Allowed changing USB settings without rebooting a router.

Fixed non-working AIR (WLAN) LED on Asus WL-520GU.

USB support code clean-up.


build 03 - 12/22/2008
---------------------

Cosmetic changes only.


build 04 - 12/26/2008
---------------------

Added FTP server daemon (vsftpd 2.0.7) configurable via GUI.

Updated kernel printer driver to version 0.13 and included some fixes
to the printer driver made by Asus.


build 05 - 12/31/2008 and 07 - 01/03/2009 (UNSTABLE)
------------------------------------------------------

Attempt to update Broadcom Wireless and Ethernet Controller driver to the
version 4.150.10.X (original Tomato included driver is version 4.130.19.0).

Added new setting to "QoS -> Basic Settings" page to select Qdisc
Scheduler (sfq | pfifo).

Auto-mounting for USB storage drives. When this feature is activated, and
USB drive is plugged in, all mountable partitions will be automatically
mounted to a new directories under /mnt. If you want to override default
mount points, mount your partition manually in the satrtup script, i.e.:
"mount -o noatime /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /opt".
If you mount your partition manually, it will not be re-mounted to a
default mount point.

This build, as well as builds 06 and 07 had several issues: using Wireless
Survey and/or changing some settings could crash the router or cause it
to hang.


build 08 - 01/07/2009
---------------------

page. This solves long-standing Tomato connectivity problems for Intel
Centrino (2200bg etc) wireless cards.

Allowed up to 100 applications in UPnP.


build 12 - 01/25/2009
---------------------

Bug fixes: cosmetic fixes for GUI, using "Measure Noise Floor" function
on the Device List page should no longer disable wireless.

forward compatibility).

Replaced UPnP daemon with MiniUPnPd.

Restored the gpio utility temporarily removed from previous build.


build 14 - 01/27/2009
---------------------

Minor improvements for FAT filesystem support.

Improved SpeedMod implementation.

in build 17 when using IPP2P in QoS rules).

Added limited kernel-level support for national codepages needed by Samba.


build 19 - 02/10/2009
---------------------

Restored original Tomato setting to show/hide UPnP server in "My Network
Places".

Added scsi-stop command to spin down some USB drives (find a description
at http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=47135&postcount=10).

"/mnt/disk#_part#" to "/mnt/LABEL".

Added support for automounting using /etc/fstab file if it exists
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab). Support for labels and UUIDs
in fstab is included. If automounting is disabled, you can still mount
your drives using fstab information by issuing "mount -a" command.
You can create and populate /etc/fstab file in Init script.

Added "nvram setfile2nvram <filename>" command to save small files in
nvram. They will be automatically restored on startup. This is another
way to create, for example, /etc/fstab file, and to make it "permanent".

Changed the on-flash filesystem from JFFS2 to JFFS 1.1 with special
modifications to the JFFS driver so that it would work on a very small
filesystem. Now JFFS partition can be mounted with as little as 192KB
available.

Updated SCSI Disk Driver to the newer version from kernel 2.4.37.
This fixes a memory leak, improves compatibility with certain devices,
and eliminates some error messages from the log (i.e. when connecting
Kingston flash drives).

Added support for multi-LUN USB storage devices (like card readers).

Applied SCSI subsystem patch from kernel 2.4.37 to improve USB
hotplugging.

Multiple improvements for USB hotplugging to make it more robust.

Starting from this build, the mod comes in 4 different flavours:
- Standard: all standard USB and NAS features included; 120KB
  JFFS space (2 blocks) available on 4MB flash routers;
- Lite: all features of Standard but no Samba; some very minor features
  are stripped out of Busybox, about 420KB JFFS space (7 blocks)
  available on 4MB flash routers;
- No CIFS: all features of Standard but no CIFS Network filesystem
  support, about 180KB JFFS space (3 blocks) available on 4MB flash
  routers;
- Extras: all features of Standard plus Linux Ext2/Ext3 filesystem
  utilities (fdisk, e2fsck, mke2fs, mkswap), and built-in loop device
  support, no JFFS space available on 4MB flash. This version is for
  people who don't need JFFS space or have 8MB flash routers, and would
  like to be able to partition/format drives in Linux native Ext2/Ext3
  format directly on the router without installing any additional tools.


build 21 - 03/03/2009
---------------------

Fixed problem introduced in build 20 with some USB 1.1 printers not

(with included new-style configuration files), libusb 1.0.8 (some of these
updates were already present in K26 beta11 builds).

Fixed bug in Samba configuration allowing Linux clients to bypass
authentication even when authentication is set to "required" in the GUI.

Slightly improved Samba compatibility with Windows clients (do not use
"share" mode).

Fixed obtaining label/uuid from swap partitions.

Added Wireless Interference Level to Status -> Overview GUI page (for APs
in 40Mhz wireless-N mode).

Do not restart FTP/Samba on every USB partition unmount - do it only if the
partition can't be unmounted otherwise.

Modified USB after-mount and before-unmount scripts. Now they are called
for every partition getting mounted or unmounted, and they get one parameter
- the mountpoint (can be examined in addition to the environment variables).

Added minimalistic tune2fs Busybox applet to the Extras build - only
supports the "label" (-L <lbl>) option.

Improve automatic reconnect for PPTP/L2TP WAN connections.

Fixed DHCP lease renewal with some broken ISPs.

Fixed minor memory leak in iptables2.

Fixed domain name corruption in Dnsmasq.

Added mime handler to Tomato http server for proxy autodiscovery files.

Removed "Reduce packet size" option from the GUI DHCP settings - this is
always enabled now.

Added option to erase NVRAM after flashing the new firmware image - useful
when flashing to other firmwares. This was already in K26 beta11 builds.

Fixed display of some password fields (FTP users and Samba passwords) in GUI
to use dots when editor doesn't have focus. This was already in K26 beta11
builds.

Modified the build system to allow more flexible firmware configurations.

Cosmetics and code cleanup.

stripped out of unused symbols to make it easier to use additional custom
compiled software.

Added preliminary support for Linksys WRT320N (thanks to Dominique) and
Netgear WNR2000v2 (untested).

Fixed flashing with Netgear .chk images from Web GUI (untested).

and UPnP. Included some updates extracted from the new Broadcom SDK
("fast NAT" module, wifi security binaries (nas/eapd), minor patches
for wlconf utility).

Removed JFFSv1 support from Non-USB Std build since JFFSv1 for kernel

JFFSv1 is updated to ver. 1.4 (updates by ray123): fixed system crash
in kernel 2.6, removed BKL, a few bug fixes, clean-up.

Remstored "Reduce packet size" GUI option for DHCP settings - apparently
some ISPs don't like truncated packets.

DNS vunerability fix: turned on rebinding protection in dnsmasq (see
http://blogs.forbes.com/firewall/2010/07/13/
millions-of-home-routers-vulnerable-to-web-hack).

model name contains quotes.

Fixed timing bugs with restarting dnsmasq and other services - thanks to Ray
<ray123> for finding and analyzing these problems.

Allowed auto-mount of file systems not supported by the firmware as long as
corresponding kernel module for this file system is loaded.

Allowed to set radio power up to 400mW (26dBm) - this will only work for
some router models and some countries.

Support for dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) wireless-N radios. Only single radio
interface is currently supported and can be configured via GUI (so no
simultaneous dual-band just yet). Tested on Linksys WRT-320N. Experimental
(not tested) support for Linksys WRT-610Nv2 (single radio only). Many thanks
to Dominique <dbt78> for pilot implementation and lots of testing!

Fixed very bad misconfiguration issue witn MiniDLNA media server causing it
to erase all files in the media directory if the same directory is specified
as the media database location.

Fixed board data partition size for Netgear routers to prevent flashing a
firmware image that's too big.

Fixed occasional wireless disconnects during data transfers for some
routers (namely Asus RT-N12, other models might be affected too).

Disabled DFS server in Samba 3 to prevent errors when using with certain
Linux clients (thanks to yatu for finding the issue and suggesting a fix).

Fixed /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/gpio nodes permissions for non-priveledged
users (needed for some additional software).

Preliminary support for IPv6 in Extras and USB+VPN editions: all required
kernel modules are included, iptables and other user space applications are
compiled with IPv6 support activated, included radvd daemon. Firewall is not
configured, no GUI configuration exists yet, and by default IPv6 is disabled
on all interfaces!

Various kernel bug fixes and optimization patches backported from upstream
2.6 kernel (mostly network/conntrack and USB related).

Added support for GUID (EFI) partition tables.

Removed unused decoders from building FFMpeg library used by MiniDLNA -
significant size reduction.
