Absolutely agree. I'm a normal end-user and there's a long time that I'm not using stable release approx 6 month after 12.09, yes, because it's out of dated for my citizen network. Is hard to me to use daily trunk builds (in several routers) because I'm not an expert, but that is the only way to use some of new hardware with features I need. +1 to have an update of stable release. > > It would be great if the developers would open the current roadmap a > bit. > _______________________________________________ > openwrt-devel mailing list > openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org > https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel > _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
