*** Release Candidate 1 *** The OpenWrt Team would like to announce a release candidate (RC1) of the next major release, codenamed Backfire. Testing of this build will help refine the code in preparation of the final release.
Binaries can be downloaded at http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03-rc1/ Highlights: * brcm-2.4 updated to 2.4.37 kernel * other targets updated to 2.6.30 or 2.6.32 * gcc updated to 4.3.3 for arm/mips targets, 4.4.3 for powerpc * uClibc updated to 0.9.30.1 * b43 wireless driver for Broadcom 11g chipsets on the 2.6 kernel * ath9k wireless driver for Atheros 11n chipsets * support for many new ar71xx devices * magicbox target folded into ppc40x New targets: * brcm63xx - Broadcom ADSL modem/routers chipset * cobalt - MIPS-based servers from Cobalt Networks * octeon - Cavium Networks Octeon * orion - Marvell Orion devices Known Issues: * ipv6 resolution via uClibc can produce segfaults (already fixed, but not available in this release) * busybox httpd occaisionally segfaults or hangs, but luci uses lucid instead of httpd by default. kill -9 should be used if it refuses to die * luci is still being worked on for this release, some pages may be broken More detailed informations available at https://dev.openwrt.org/milestone/Backfire%2010.03-rc1 Note: After a long development phase, Broadcom wireless should now be working on brcm47xx, start testing. This would finally move all OpenWrt platforms to current 2.6 kernels.
