I have read all the "Readme", "sticky" posts and the Wiki. There is tons of info to consume. Much of it is outdated and some incomprehensible.
Anyway, months ago, I took a stab at upgrading to a Kong build (just a Hail Mary as there is really no clear understanding for us NooBs what the true differences are between Kong, AS, BS, core, BrainSlayer, Eko etc.) is.
- a "Kong" build that I downloaded from Kong's FTP site http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/. Luckily, I saved it off as builds just get overwritten on that site.
Sidenote 1: there is a "test" subfolder that I never touched. Docs and threads are totally unclear as to what exactly that subfolder contains.
Sidenote 2: The relevant file needed for D-Link DIR-890L is
Code:
dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_R8000.bin
I am a bit annoyed that certain LEDs on the router still don't function, etc.
So, here my question: given I have that version string (
Code:
DD-WRT v3.0-r33435M kongac (10/08/17)
) that I can grab off my router's GUI, how can I figure out a list of fixes/features applicable to my router type (
Code:
AC_ARM_R8000
) since that date/build until current date/build?
Can anyone guide me on this?

Description:
Kong builds current (today) with unknown function for "test" folder
Changes are at: http://svn.dd-wrt.com/
Unfortunately you have to be a developer/C expert/Linux Guru to understand them (I am none of the above)
Thanks. Had poked around there as well, but couldn’t make heads or tails out of the data. Some things looked promising, but then no details (just “closed, fixed” and something like that - eg: http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/6234). Also, no overview anywhere.
Well if you are here long enough you get the hang of it (alternatively you can als get a live )
I am happy when I don’t have to deal with it - and as long as Netflix streams via VPN, the wife doesn’t moan. The minute that fails, I have to deal again. Wish there was a simple way and guide to do things. Actually, even better would be if those idiot manufacturers would provide decent software that works so we would not have to have problems like this at all.

Most users should just research the new build threads. Easiest way to check the SVN diffs is with:
Thanks but that wasn't what I asked. I can do that and many are BS not Kong. What I am specifically asking how to tell from his repository what version is there as no version in the file name, unlike the Brainslayer files.
