Heh. No, these are not releases. If I don't get a chance to do some
testing I don't post their existence to the list.

I don't mind people being eager and willing to test 'em without me
doing so, tho.

To explain, I do what's called "continuous integration" whenever
possible (see wikipedia)

Big triggers for that are new kernel releases (like 3.10.6), fixes
like the boatload that felix just landed for the ethernet and the wifi
aggregation rework, and tossing in a new version of the codel patches,
and tossing in the AQM stuff that sebastian just did - and all that
landed in 3.10.6-1.

Merely getting this stuff to compile is often a chore. In fact, it
took me all day to get all that to work... and my only spare router I
dare sacrifice (the other 4 in the testbed are doing some benchmarks
as I write) is still in my suitcase and in the car.

Usually I get around to announcing a "development release" once it's
been tested for a little while, at least a quick check, and preferably
a couple hours under heavy load, and usually that will be at least a
-3. I generally try to stay away from X.Y.0 and wait for X.Y.1...

We still have a few things left to fold into this kernel - notably the
new htb patches from jesper and to backport a few other fixes from
net-next, and it looks like the changes to the AQM thing need a
smarter radio box in the gui(?). I'm also trying to freeze the ubnt
picostation and nanostation on the same stuff (and what's causing even
more delay is trying to get a guruplug and edgerouter booted with it
too. I've always resisted expanding the scope of the cerowrt project
to more hardware, but I need two higher power boxes to drive some
tests with desparately)

I'm off to do my laundry in a bit, and will return with fresh clothes
and that router this evening.

I would very much like to get to a new "stable" release this month,
it's been far too long since the last one! But to do that we have to
have zero crash bugs, and be "feature complete". I think we are close
to zero crashes (but felix fiddling with the ethernet and the wifi
recently scares me and I still haven't checked to see if sysupgrade
worked in a couple releases (I flash via tftp usually)), but there are
some nagging features that I'd like to get in there. Like this one.
Keep plugging away, please.

Are there any other must-have features for this puppy? I've been
looking over gargoyle's ACC code in particular.
