Does this update include those changes made to allow NAS mounting without
deleting it on every boot?

Thanks.

> Hi Folks,
>
> Paco is finally here, loaded with fixes, new features and improvements!
> Just in time to have some holiday time to play with this new firmware.
>
> What changed?
> -------------
> Comparing this release with the previous stable, 2.3.6.2, here’s a summary
> of the most important changes:
>
>  - 2.0g now supports bridge mode (but not wifi-bridge mode, due to
>    technical limitations).
>  - The “Orange page” with the “Your internet is misconfigured” message
>    was removed. It caused more problems than it solved, due to onlined
>    incorrectly detecting a broken connection when it was still working.
>  - Various networking and wifi fixes and improvements that can make the
>    network more stable and a bit faster in some circumstances.
>  - Wifi scans can now be performed from the web interface.
>  - Status display in the dashboard is improved.
>  - Large USB disks (>2TiB) are now supported.
>  - Multiple Dynamic DNS providers are supported now.
>  - Various software and drivers have been updated.
>  - OpenVPN was made a lot more configurable.
>
> There are dozens and dozens of smaller changes, which are listed in
> detail in the changelog:

> So, how do I upgrade?
> ---------------------
> Download the web upgrade tarball below, navigate to your Fonera’s
> dashboard through “Settings” and then “System” and upload the tarball
> there (under “Firmware update”). Note that you should not unpack the
> file you download (and make sure your browser doesn’t automatically
> unzip the file either, it should remain a .tgz file).
>
> Note: On 2.0g, the firmware update might fail due to insufficient
> memory. If you upload the firmware through the webinterface, but that
> page keeps loading indefinitely (and you do not get the updating
> countdown), you’re probably seeing this issue as well. As a workaround,
> you can disable windows file sharing (“Settings” -> “Fileserver” ->
> “Windows Network Shares”) and/or the public Fonspot (“Settings” ->
> “FONSpot”) to free up some memory. This should allow the 2.0g to
> successfully unpack the firmware and start flashing it.
>
> In the coming weeks, we will also offer this firmware upgrade directly
> from the dashboard, making the upgrade even easier, but this procedure
> needs a bit of testing before we enable it.
>
> This firmware is available for the following hardware. Be sure to pick
> the version for your hardware. If you pick the wrong one, the firmware
> update will silently bail out and no upgrade will happen (no error will
> appear either).
