[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.

Improved support for Ext2/Ext3 filesystems (allow expanded inodes,
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.


build 15 - 01/29/2009

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

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).

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!

(was broken in build 51).

Fixed DHCP renewal processing to not replace the default gateway and DNS
servers for PPTP/L2TP connections.

Added "Use Default Gateway on Remote Network" option for PPTP/L2TP
connection types (turned on by default). Turn it off to use gateway obtained
via DHCP for internet routing, and only use PPTP/L2TP gateway for VPN
subnet (custom routing may be required in case if VPN network contains
multiple subnets).

Resolve sporadic PPPoE disconnect issues with some ISPs.

Allow to configure custom TTL values in the Web GUI.

Make sure PPTP/L2TP is gracefully disconnected after firmware upgrades and
after restoring configuration to prevent connection problems after reboot.

OpenVPN: wait for time synchronization on startup up to a few seconds to
prevent potential VPN server errors.

Get rid of MatrixSSL: use OpenSSL in VPN editions and CyaSSL in non-VPN
editions to provide SSL support for httpd and ddns, use TLS v 1.0 protocol
instead of SSL v. 2/3.

Dnsmasq: restored TFTP support in all editions, added support for scripts to
Extras editions.

Allow syslog to read options from /etc/syslogd.cfg (to support saving of log

Updated Broadcom wireless driver and SDK to version 5.10.147.0
(experimental, 2nd attempt).

Added Broadcom implementation of "Efficient Multicast Forwarding" (enable on
Advanced->Routing page). Description from Broadcom: "this module does the
efficient layer 2 forwarding of multicast streams, i.e., forward the streams
only on to the ports that have corresponding group members there by reducing
the bandwidth utilization and latency".

Do not use "passive" mode for wireless scans - with 5.x.x.x wireless driver
it doesn't work in client modes.

Included WIDE-DHCPv6 client (no GUI support yet) and IPv6 connbytes match
into IPv6-enabled builds.

Applied latest kernel patches from linux-mips.org (up to 2010-11-10).

* Kernel 2.4-based builds only:

Fixed: "multiport" match not working with port ranges.


build 56 - TBA
---------------------

PPPoE: replaced outdated pppoecd client daemon from old Linksys GPL with
rp-pppoe 3.10.

GUI: enhancements for QoS -> Detailed page, added QoS -> Transfer Rates page.

Added DSCP matching criteria for QoS Classification.

Fixed: made MAC address set for the LAN bridge to stick.

Fixed: "EU" country code was missing from the list on "Advanced -> Wireless"
GUI page on some routers, causing it to display "Afghanistan" instead.

Fixed: display of wireless link quality for WDS connections on "Status ->
Device List" page.

Fixed: timing issue when starting OpenVPN server or client with WAN.

Fixed: GUI validation for fields allowing mixed IP addresses and hostnames.

Fixed: corrected some timezones (Guyana, Argentina, Puerto Rico) in the GUI.

Fixed: DHCP release not working when using "Release" button in the GUI.

Changed some nvram defaults to more sane values.

Clear conntrack entries on WAN-Up - this should fix some SIP devices not
being able to register after restart of the router.

Hostnames specified for firewall rules (port forwarding, QoS, source IP
restrictions, access restrictions, web monitor, etc) are now validated upon
firewall start, skipping creation of rules with non-resolvable names, and
logging this to the system log (instead of completely aborting the firewall
startup).

Changed httpd so only one instance is needed to support http and https on
all interfaces.

Changed httpd and ssh (dropbear) to actually listen on WAN interface (when
remote access is enabled) instead of using port forwarding. This also fixes
some of the redirections in Web GUI not working properly if remote and local
listening http(s) ports are not the same.

FTP server in VPN builds now includes SSL support (manual configuration
only via "Vsftpd Custom Configuration" field in the GUI).

DDNS: added support for miniDNS, and for ZoneEdit DDNS updates via HTTPS,
modified HE.net IPv6 Tunnel Broker IPv4 endpoint address updater to conform
to the new HE.net interface.

Enabled support for scripts in Dnsmasq in all builds.

Allowed pre-defined "wan-ip" hostname to be used as an alias for router
WAN IPv4 address in iptables rules.

GUI: restored ability to enter multiple hostnames (space separated) per
device on "Static DHCP" page.

IPv6 support with GUI, including configuration options for native IPv6
(static or via DHCPv6-PD), 6to4 tunnel, static 6in4 tunnel, or manual.
Enabled most of the internal services for IPv6.

Stateful IPv6 firewall, with GUI configuration page for opening ports in the
IPv6 firewall, added ip6tables matches and targets.

QoS settings apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, and classification
settings apply to both where applicable.

Fixed: random crashes and reboots during USB file transfers with some USB
drives.

Fixed: router crashes after enabling IPv6 support.

Fixed: SIP helper module corrupting SIP message headers. Backported
improved SIP conntrack and NAT helper from upstream 2.6 kernel.

Fixed: ping6 doesn't get responses from Apple OS X and iOS systems.

Various optimizations backports and fixes from upstream 2.6 kernel.

Replaced Broadcom wireless driver by version 5.10.142.0 (used 5.10.147.0 in
previous builds 53 and 54). This version seems to have better support for
certain radio chips (used in Belkin routers), and fixes 5GHz wireless
survey.

Re-enabled Broadcom "fast NAT" module. It is automatically disabled when
either QoS, web monitor, or access restrictions are activated. Additionaly
can be disabled via nvram variable ("fastnat_disable").

Expanded set of available extra kernel modules - included modules for
Philips (pwc) and GSPCA-compatible USB webcam support.

Software updates: MiniDLNA 1.0.20.2 cvs 2011-07-01, SQLite 3.7.5,
radvd 1.8.
