Build 52 Available

Build 52 - 10/15/2010

Changes common for kernel 2.4 and kernel 2.6 based builds:

• Fixed WAN Up script not being executed (was broken in build 51).
• Fixed obtaining DHCP lease from Corbina Beeline and possibly other ISPs (was broken in build 51).
• Fixed DHCP renewal processing to not replace the default gateway and DNS servers for PPTP/L2TP connections.
• Fixed errors in routing 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.
• Size optimization of some large applications.
• Software updates: PPTP kernel driver 0.8.5, Busybox 1.17.3.
• Cosmetics.

Kernel 2.6-based builds only (beta23):

• Fixed Mini build for Netgear routers with 4MB flash (WNR2000v2, WNR3500v2), removed RIPv1/v2 routing from Mini build due to Netgear size restrictions, added JFFS to Mini build to make use of some otherwise wasted flash space.
• Fixed flashing all supported Netgear routers back to OEM firmware.
• Media server: removed some rare and obsolete demuxers to reduce size, reduced MiniDLNA memory usage.
• Minor backports from upstream 2.6 kernel.

Warning:

When upgrading from build 51, you have a crc error message, but it has no impact, and upgrade is OK.

Some people seem to have DNS problem when custom settings are set in DNSMasq (see http://tomatousb.org/forum/t-275781/build-52-weird-bugs )
