Turris OS 5.0 is released!

Pepe · June 4, 2020, 1:04pm

Dear Turris users,

We would like to inform you about a new major version Turris OS 5.0, which was released to HBS (Stable) branch from HBT (Testing) branch.

This version is based on the latest OpenWrt version 19.07.3 with our features, our userspace, and our kernel configuration. Among security updates, there are new packages and the most important new features and new packages.

All Turris routers, which are using automatic updates and has version Turris OS 4.0.5, they will get this update soon. There is experimental support for Turris 1.x routers as if you would like to give it try, you need to boot from microSD card and using Btrfs. When you are using Approvals, there’s going to be a notification for you.

I’m going to show you some highlights in this version:

We have been working on our redesigned Foris (reForis), which has now a few amazing features like snapshots integration and remote control, but it is in the development.

reForis schnapps module1283×719 42.3 KB
In default configurations, there is enabled support for USB Mass Storage devices by default to use Storage plugin without installing package list NAS.
There is added support for secondary IP addresses for DNS servers and enabled TLS for Google DNS servers.
There is a basic migration from samba3 to samba4.
As a time-based job scheduler, we are using cronie instead of vixie-cron, which is no longer under development.
For webapps, there is an automatic redirect to HTTPS, if it is possible.
LuCI is using client-side rendering for improved performance.
There is a new version of Updater, which should take less memory during the update.
Removed sysupgrade from the system as it is dangerous.
New package gerbera, which should be a replacement for MiniDLNA, and someone had some issues with MiniDLNA.
Added hack for ppp, which improves stability in some cases.
There is an updated RIPE Atlas Probe to its latest version.
Some of you experienced that in some cases that probe is shown on the website as disconnected. These should be narrowed be in a few minutes and in some cases it takes hours.
Optional WPA3 support

More information can be found on our Gitlab or in the OpenWrt changelog. We want to thank anyone, who tested this release in the HBT (Testing) branch.

All Turris routers, which are using automatic updates and has version Turris OS 4.0.5, they will get this update soon. There is experimental support for Turris 1.x routers as if you would like to give it try, you need to boot from microSD card and using Btrfs. When you are using Approvals, there’s going to be a notification for you.

If you find out any bugs, please write an e-mail to tech.support@turris.cz and don’t forget to include if possible outputs.

We appreciate any feedback for this release.

MOX SDIO 5 GHz networking is still not stable, yet. This could be fixed in upcoming fixup releases.

Patch was available in older releases of TOS 4.

viktor · June 4, 2020, 2:00pm

When will be released new u-boot for older Omnias? I can’t find any current information in forum or TOS 5 changelog. With upgrade from TOS 3 does not work automatic SFP switching.

TeTrov · June 4, 2020, 2:19pm

My Omnia just got updated in the middle of the day! Fortunately, everything seems to be working except the new “redesigned Foris (reForis)”. I still have foris version: 100.7, do I have to switch it manually or something? Thanks.

viktor · June 4, 2020, 2:30pm

From which version you upgrade?

Install reForis via Foris.

TeTrov · June 4, 2020, 2:36pm

It was an automatic update. I think I had Turris OS 4.0.5.

All righty, thanks.

viktor · June 4, 2020, 2:39pm

Great! Thanks for feedback.

mato · June 4, 2020, 3:01pm

Congratulations on the release!

Since I’ve been testing the RCs, my Omnia is set to the hbt branch. Do I need to manually switch it to hbs, to get the “real” 5.0.0? The last set of updates that got installed were from last night, which would seem to correspond to 5.0.0-RC7.

Also, with the release of 5.0.0, now might be a good time to clarify the security update/EOL policy for OS 3.x/4.x/5.x. I’ve seen various threads on the forum with slightly contradictory/confusing comments as to what versions get/will get security updates, and till when.

Is the canonical reference for this policy intended to be https://docs.turris.cz/basics/tos_versions/?

viktor · June 4, 2020, 3:11pm

HBS and HBT are same for now.

TOS 3 is supported, obsolete and stable (and for somebody not completely safe)
TOS 4 is unsupported, vulnerable and not fully stable
TOS 5 is supported, secure and with next minor releases also stable

MightyWarrior · June 4, 2020, 4:01pm

opkg update doesn’t work after auto update from 4.0.5 to 5.0. Probably because wget is not present in the system.

update1: Issue was fixed by running pkgupdate.

update2: 5Ghz wifi didn’t worked. Solved by running opkg remove kmod-ath10k && opkg install kmod-ath10k-ct

update3: pkgupdate produces:

INFO:Target Turris OS: 5.0.0

Is it expected?

30 posts were split to a new topic: Samba 4 changes

weelupek · June 4, 2020, 4:22pm

My Turris 1.0 got updated automatically to TOS 5.0 from 4.0.x . There was error shown - “You deinstalled btrfs support but your router is still using it, so it will likelly break.”

Do I need to be concerned ?

Router seems to be running fine after restart …

viktor · June 4, 2020, 4:44pm

It is common condition.

Pepe · June 4, 2020, 5:07pm

Was it? The hack was present in Turris OS 3.x. It was not included in Turris OS 4.0.

Wasn’t it beautiful? Would you rather receive an update during the midnight? In the Updater tab, there is a possibility to use Delayed updates or Approved updates.

In the past, I wrote some posts about it, and hopefully, those were not confusing nor contradictory. If yes, please say it loud next time, ok?

Turris OS 3.x version is still supported. Today we released a new release 3.11.17 and the next one is coming! If you are asking about automatic migration, there is going to be and I can not give you an exact date when migration at least for advanced users will be possible. However, this will not cover all cases. If you are not sure or don’t you want to wait for whatever reason just jump on the Turris OS 5.0 way by medkit.
Support has been ended Turris OS 4.0.x once Turris OS 5.0 was released.

Documentation is going to be updated. We are aware of it and thanks for reporting!

HBS and HBT are the same for now. This is going to be changed once we release a new release in HBT.

Can you please provide me some logs to know what happened? Did you do a restart of your router?

This means that you have installed rainbow and sqm packages, which does not have separated the English language and it could mean that the English language is part of the standalone package. It is a common behavior that English packages have their own package. These are harmless. I checked it for you and the warning for luci-i18n-sqm will be gone once OpenWrt 20.xx is released, because it is fixed in their master and rainbow is our package.

This happened because turris-btrfs package was renamed to turris1x-btrfs that’s why it sent you the scary notification. You just need to check it that you have it installed and it’s going to be just fine.

mkyral · June 4, 2020, 5:42pm

Thanks,
I’ve the same issues. No wget and missing 5GHz wifi card.

Omnia on 4.0.5, updated during the day.

This update was very strange. Wifi stopped, all leds on router were lighting except WAN led that blinked. So I’ve restarted omnia and later on I’ve found, that it was probably caused by update

Nikku · June 4, 2020, 5:43pm

When my Omnia auto updated earlier (without me knowing), it knocked out the wifi so I went and powered it off and on again since I thought something had crashed. I think this may have been mid-update as it came back on okay, but a few things (like OpenVPN) weren’t working properly.

I reinstalled 4.0.5 with medkit, restored a config backup and let it update again and all seems good now.

I noticed /etc/config/backups was overwritten though (I’d added extra directories to backup).

Pepe · June 4, 2020, 6:13pm

Do you have any logs? It seems to me like unfinished update. What means missing 5 GHz card? Is is not visible in lspci? Is there anything in /var/log/messages?

This was not reported in the Testing branch and it was not reported it to us on support.

In any case → Support: Getting help.

This sounds great.
Nevertheless there’s one important thing missing for me to start the upgrade procedure 3.11.x to 5.x on both of my TO: would you please please write an official guide on how to correctly use VLAN-tagging?
Yes, there are various threads on this, but no clear main description on how to do it… My network depends on working VLANs, therefore I really need this to work.
