apt.postgresql.org now has changelog files in a place where apt can
retrieve them automatically, for example
apt changelog postgresql-18
will download the file and display it in a pager. Mind that the files
are only present yet for packages updated since last week, the rest
will follow over time.
Build logs
Likewise, package build logs are now also stored along with the
packages in .build.xz files in the pool directory. (There is no
automated download tool for them, though.)
Ubuntu releases resolute and plucky
Work on the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 "resolute" release has started and
packages are available on apt.postgresql.org.
The Ubuntu 25.04 "plucky" release has reached its end of life and has
been moved to apt-archive.postgresql.org.
Yes, the day has finally arrived: the Open Home Foundation merch store is up and running! 🥳 While some of you have tracked it down already (and are wearing the T-shirts to prove it!), we wanted to share it officially with the whole community so no one misses the chance to get involved.
The merch store adds another choice to the mix that’s fun and easy to access. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning, or have only recently discovered our mission and like what we stand for, the merch store is open to everyone!
Taking care of quality
We have offered merch before through on-demand services, but those platforms didn’t give us the control we wanted. Now we have our own store, we can select every item ourselves, check the quality (we’ve particularly enjoyed getting cozy in the hoodies this winter), and work with ethical manufacturers who share our commitment to sustainability.
And here’s the important part: after covering costs like production and fulfillment, your purchase contributes directly to our mission. You can see the breakdown of where your money goes on every product page.
What’s in store?
We’re starting with the essentials: hoodies, tees, polos, and accessories in a range of classic styles, colors, and designs – with exciting plans to expand both our products and categories over time. But for now there should be something for everyone: from understated logos to bold patterns that declare your advocacy loud and clear. One of our favorites is the “Open Homes” tee, where our in-house designer has captured our community’s strength – one foundation, many homes.
Over to you!
We’ve put a lot of thought and care into creating this first collection, and we can’t wait for you to check it out! You can browse our European or North American store depending on where you’re based: both have the full selection of swag, with local shipping for speed and convenience (and a lower carbon impact).
And remember… this is just the beginning. We already have lots of ideas for what’s next. But we want to hear from you too: what designs would you wear? What products or materials are you missing? Let us know and help us build a store the community really loves – in the open, of course.
This is not the final version, this is a test version. Please report problems and bugs in our issue tracker.
Highlights in OpenWrt 25.12
OpenWrt 25.12.0-rc5 incorporates over 4600 commits since branching the previous OpenWrt 24.10 release and has been under development for over one year.
Only the main changes are listed below. See changelog-25.12.0-rc5 for the full changelog.
General changes
The hardware requirements did not change significantly, most devices supported by OpenWrt 24.10 should also work with OpenWrt 25.12.
Switch package manager from opkg to apk
OpenWrt has transitioned from the traditional opkg package manager to apk (Alpine Package Keeper).
This change brings several advantages:
apk is still maintained, the OpenWrt opkg fork was not maintained any more.
apk supports most features of opkg. Only very few package names changed. The command line arguments of apk are different from the command line arguments of opkg.
For users migrating existing systems, an official opkg to apk cheatsheet is available to ease the transition and map common workflows.
Automatically rebuild firmware images with all currently installed packages
Preserve system configuration during upgrades
This dramatically simplifies upgrades: with just a few clicks in LuCI and a short wait, a custom firmware image is built and installed without manual intervention.
Shell history is preserved
Shell command history is now preserved across sessions by storing it in a RAM-backed filesystem.
Benefits:
Command history is no longer lost between logins
No unnecessary writes to flash storage by default
For users who prefer persistent history storage, this behavior can be changed by editing: /etc/profile.d/busybox-history-file.sh
⚠️ Note: Storing history on flash will increase write cycles and may impact flash endurance over time.
Integration of video feed
The OpenWrt video feed with Qt5 and UI applications is integrated by default.
Wi-Fi scripts in ucode
The wifi scripts were rewritten in ucode.
Target changes
Extend realtek target with support for more switch SoCs like 10G Ethernet switches.
Extend qualcommax target with support for ipq50xx and ipq60xx SoCs.
Added siflower target for Siflower SF21A6826/SF21H8898 SoCs
Added sunxi/arm926ejs subtarget for Allwinner F1C100/200s SoCs
Many new devices added
OpenWrt 25.12 supports over 2240 devices. Support for over 220 new devices was added in addition to the device support by OpenWrt 24.10.
Core components update
Core components have the following versions in 25.12.0-rc5:
Updated toolchain:
musl libc 1.2.5
glibc 2.41
gcc 14.3.0
binutils 2.44
Updated Linux kernel
6.12.71 for all targets
main packages:
cfg80211/mac80211 from kernel 6.18.7
hostapd master snapshot from August 2025
dnsmasq 2.91
dropbear 2025.89
busybox 1.37.0
In addition to the listed applications, many others were also updated.
Upgrading to 25.12
Upgrading from 24.10 to 25.12 should be transparent on most devices, as most configuration data has either remained the same or will be translated correctly on first boot by the package init scripts.
Sysupgrade from 23.05 to 25.12 is not officially supported.
Cron log level was fixed in busybox. system.@system[0].cronloglevel should be set to 7 for normal logging. 7 is the default now. If this option is not set, the default is used and no manual action is needed.
Bananapi BPI-R4: Interfaces eth1 was renamed to sfp-lan or lan4 and the interface eth2 was renamed to sfp-wan to match the labels. You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.
Scratch installs/upgrades
If you wish to start from scratch (always the safest, but also the most work), simply download the pre-built image from the downloads site or from the Firmware Selector to your device. Make sure to create and save a backup, then install the image using sysupgrade -n /tmp/firmware.bin or the LuCI Backup/Flash Firmware, being sure to set "Keep settings and retain the current configuration" to its off position. Restore or reconstruct your configuration using the contents of the backup as a template.
Attended Sysupgrade options
Attended Sysupgrade (ASU) allows you to build a custom image that retains all of your installed packages and their configuration transparently. You need to use one of the three ASU clients that interface with the ASU server to produce this custom image:
Firmware Selector - an online builder that requires you to manually supply it with the packages you wish to have installed. This package list is sent to the ASU server, and a new custom device image is created containing those packages. You may then download and install the image in LuCI Backup/Flash Firmware, but for this you would enable "Keep settings..."
Luci Attended Sysupgrade - the web interface to the ASU server. This tool allows you to choose a new OpenWrt version, then collects the names of the packages on your device and sends them up to the ASU server. LuCI ASU then downloads the created image directly to your device and allows you to install it, without having to do any of the bookkeeping tasks involved with using the Firmware Selector.
owut - a command line package that does the same job as LuCI ASU, but provides more diagnostics and better visibility into what's happening at the various steps before and during the build process.
Both the LuCI ASU app and owut are optional packages in 24.10, so if you have not installed them, they won't be there by default. Use either the LuCI Package Manager to install them, or you can do it from the command line with opkg:
Note that you can install one or the other, or both together, they are completely independent packages.
Upgrades with Firmware Selector
The Firmware Selector does an excellent job of searching through the thousands of available device configurations and getting you to the right place. But, some devices have several variants and possibly different image formats, so if you're unsure about which one you need or which device you're dealing with or anything else, go to the |Firmware Selector support thread and ask away.
Upgrades with LuCI Attended Sysupgrade
The LuCI web interface should be fairly self explanatory. Since you have fairly limited options there that should be pretty obvious, but if anything is unclear or you're unsure about something, go to the LuCI Attended Sysupgrade support thread and ask.
Upgrades with owut
If you choose to use owut, the fact that it's a command line program means you'll need a little more explanation regarding best practices. In any situation, it's always safe to do a check to see what's going on.
$ owut check --verbose --version-to 25.12
... a lot of output ...
This check should show you all the details of what this upgrade entails with regards to the packages available, and will point out any issues with package versions and so on.
Assuming the results of the check look good, you can simply do an upgrade next.
$ owut upgrade --verbose --version-to 25.12
... even more output ...
If you are unsure of anything you see in the check, during the upgrade, or simply have questions, jump on over to the owut support thread on the forum and ask.
Known issues
Users of Zyxel EX5601-T0 devices need to check their WAN interfaces as port was renamed from eth1 to wan.
The Stable channel has been updated to 145.0.7632.109/110 for Windows/Mac and 145.0.7632.109 for Linux, which will roll out over the coming days/weeks. A full list of changes in this build is available in the Log
