    Release notes — disclosure 0.45
    Important: After installing this firmware, we strongly recommend performing a factory-default reset to activate every new security adjustment.Security Enhancements- Password Policy Upgrade – Minimum 10 characters with at least 1 letter, 1 digit and 1 special symbol, and no consecutive identical characters; hardens defence against brute-force attacks.- HTTPS on 8443 – Management interface now served over TLS by default.- UPnP Disabled – Universal Plug and Play starts in the off state for reduced surface exposure.- Authentication Logic Refactor – Removed redundant code paths for a lean sign-in flow.- Memory Safety Guard (CWE-476) – Introduced null-reference protections across critical services.- Enhanced IPsec Parameter Validation – The existing input checks have been hardened.- Data Exposure Mitigation (CWE-200) – Reinforced controls on sensitive pathways.- Detailed Audit Trails – Expanded logging within the authentication module.System Improvements- Connection Stability – Core algorithms refined for steadier links.- Scheduling Accuracy – Timed tasks execute reliably under PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP WAN modes.- Client List Maintenance – Resolved an issue that prevented offline devices from being removed from the client list.
  5. 3.0.0.6.102_36602 5 May 2025

    Release notes — disclosure 0.31
    Improved compatibility with certain IoT devices.
  6. 3.0.0.6.102_36597 17 April 2025

    Release notes — disclosure 0.61
    1. Fixed the UI issue in Chrome.2. Fixed client binding issues in Mesh scenarios.3. Enhanced input parameter handling techniques to improve data processing stability and system security.4. Enhance system access control mechanisms.5. Improved system stability and security by fixing a kernel integrity validation issue.*Do NOT downgrade the firmware on any mesh device (router or node).Due to enhanced security mechanisms, both the router and node must be upgraded together. Downgrading may result in a mismatch of security protocols between devices, causing the mesh connection to fail.
