Note: R1 runs on all supported architectures (ARM, AARCH, MIPS). R2 runs only on ARM and AARCH. This is due to the availability of vnStat 2.x in the Entware repository.
- Hotfix posted to address iCloud "weird server reply" issue. Only required if you are using iCloud/me.com SMTP services.
- End-of-year-housekeeping: this update includes minor updates to charts, interface id, and uninstall functions.
- The primary change is to check for amtm messaging existence. If available, vnStat-on-Merlin will use amtm messaging preferentially.
- If amtm messaging is not configured, will continue to use Diversion (for now; see below). Notes:
- The Diversion requirement is now deprecated in vnStat-on-Merlin R2. In a future update (TBD), only amtm messaging will be supported. This change is only for R2.
- Minor fix to the email symlinks to address an email piggybacking change.
- More details here: https://www.snbforums.com/goto/post?id=715523
- Minor fixes and addition of trend lines.
- Includes the fix for the "month start" issue: remove "month start" field from monthly usage metrics. See notes here: https://www.snbforums.com/goto/post?id=707598.
- With this version, there is a new feature: trend lines. These are found in the interactive charts on the R2vnStat-on-Merlin UI page, and show trends in data usage over time - both download and upload.
- More information here: https://www.snbforums.com/goto/post?id=707674
- Moves supported router architectures (ARM and AARCH) to vnStat 2.x.
- Upgrade to vnStat 2.x branch (v 2.7 at release of R2)
- Data usage is reported in megabytes (base-1000), so no correction is necessary to monitor against ISP bandwidth usage
- Minor changes in the built-in charts, including a "shadow" to the daily and monthly usage with projected usage
- Interactive charts created by Jack Yaz - Data usage, by minutes, hours and days - Data use comparisons (current week vs previous week, by day of week) - Data use trends (current week, previous week, two weeks prior) -
- Minor changes to the text-based daily reports. These now focus on the most recent periods (last day, previous week, recent 6 months) and include yearly use.
- Option to save data/configurations to USB rather than JFFS
- Fix for "false update" message that may show for vnStat-on-Merlin if you update to amtm 3.2.1.
- You may be shown that v 2.0.3 is available, but when you attempt to update you are informed - correctly - that the 1.0.2 version is the latest. You should ignore this update prompt in 3.2.1. The R1 update to 1.0.3 appears to fix this notification.
- Other minor configuration, performance and back-end tweaks to charts.
- Minor fixes to correct an error which manifested itself as an "arithmetic error"; additional hot-fix to mitigate a related error.
- New format for monthly total in output listing: i.e.,
yyyy-mm (dd)where dd is the start of the cycle in a given period - Add "Router Friendly Name" to email subject line (can be modified in Diversion email set-up)
- Add cycle (re)start day to usage string: i.e., "You have used XX % (YY GB) of your ZZ GB cycle allowance, the cycle starts on day 1 of the month"
- Back-end: Always specify interface (-i) with vnstat commands in case database has multiple interfaces tracked
- Release 1 (R1)
- Fix calculation for data-limits to reflect GB/TB (base 1000) - vnStat measures in GiB/TiB (base 1024)
- Add current use % to HTML and plain-text daily email; promote this information into the monthly use section
- General JY script enhancements (section headers, locks)
- UI updates (re-ordering, remove requirement for hard refresh, javascript improvements); additional UI options
- Additional under-the-hood optimizations, including:
- Conversion code for unit change in CLI, scale data allowance when changing unit
- Updated defaults for vnstat.conf (please check against any existing vnstat.conf)
- Programming improvements (using --json for monthly data calculation, grep improvements, jq filter for WAN)
- Make sure libjpeg-turbo is installed (note: library not available for MIPS, ignore any messages on MIPS)
- Beta 3/RC1
- Many under-the-hood optimizations to improve reliability, accuracy and functionality based on Beta 2 feedback
- Added user-specified data limits: check vnstat-reported data use against a user-set limit
- Of particular interest to those with data caps, e.g., Comcast, Cox, others
- Data-limit monitoring with:
- Optional email notification when reach 75%, 90% and 100% of data -limit
- Data use warning message on UI page (75% and higher)
- Data-limit calculations - UI and CLI menu (% data limit used)
- CLI menu- and UI-updatable
- Selectable GB or TB limits
- Expanded UI settings options
- Self-contained emailer (leverages Diversion credentials, but no longer calls separate script)
- Automatically backup existing vnstat databases (if found) during initial and full re-install
- Deprecate the "CLI daily total" graphic in favor of textual view (updates every 5 minutes; daily summary emailed at 23:59 local, if enabled)
- Expanded CLI menu options (some deployed as mimimal updates/hotfixes)
- CLI menu option to enable editing of vnstat.conf
- UI updates, including defaulting to "AsusWRT color theme"
- Universal date reformatting (deployed as hotfix, for new or full re-installs only)
- Inclusion in AMTM (
amtm) menu (AMTM version 3.1.9 and later) - the first beta add-on included in AMTM!
- Beta 2 version, public deployment
- With JackYaz install script
- Automated removal of manual/alpha/beta 1 installs (cleans up any scripts and cron jobs created by pre-beta 2 installations)
- Introduces CLI menu (
/jffs/scripts/dn-vnstat) with configuration options (limited number of options, but includes removal)
- Internal development version, not distrubuted publicly; collaboration initiated with JackYaz
- Addition of div-email option (script from elorimer), which leverages Diversion's encrypted email functionality (with permission of thelonelycoder)
- Email support for daily usage email (contains day, week, monthly usage)
- Install script removed due to conflicts
- Revert to manual install steps
- Minor UI updates and tweaks
- Beta 1 version, public deployment
- With partial install script support script by Martineau
- Alpha/"how-to" manual install
