Dear Turris users,
These days, we are maintaining two stable versions of Turris OS.
In one case, you might notice that we did not release a new version of our old stable version Turris OS 3.x running on Turris 1.x and Turris Omnia routers. Turris OS 3.x is with us for a long time, and it runs an older OpenWrt version, which is no longer maintained by OpenWrt but by us.
We can not assure on Turris OS 3.x that you will be secured against recent security vulnerabilities. Sooner, we want to deprecate and decide not to support this version anymore. Before doing it, we need to migrate to our latest version - Turris OS 5.3.x.
You might want to know what it means to you.
- All Turris 1.x routers using Btrfs without contract and running Turris OS 3.x will be migrated to Turris OS 5.3.x in this wave.
- The first two thousand of Turris Omnia will be migrated in this wave.
If you want to trigger the migration process early, you can do that in Foris.
What are the most changes?
-
You will be using the supported OpenWrt version 19.07.8.
It means updated kernel to version 4.14 LTS, new versions of everything, LuCI uses client-side rendering, and many other features! We should not forget about ours like redesigned Foris (reForis), new detection system Turris:Sentinel are waiting for you! -
Migration from Turris OS 3.x to Turris OS 5.x is a huge step.
More than three years of development on our side and on OpenWrt required to do some changes. In that case, some packages and features are no longer there, like Server-side backups, CUPS, etc. You can found short list of changes in our documentation: 3.x migration - Turris Documentation
Where I should report issues
We hope that the migration will be smooth for most cases like basic configuration and so on. If not, we are ready to help you. Please, follow this article.
We want to use our efforts to focus on releases, which are maintained by OpenWrt devs&community, where we are contributing and keeping all OpenWrt routers secured and updated. It will help our developers develop new features to use up-to-date versions of Python and other things they need.
