-Highlights of this release since the previous OpenWrt 19.07.0-rc1 version are:+Changes in this release candidate since the previous [[notes-19.07.0-rc1|19.07.0-rc1 release candidate]] are:
  
-  * update of hostapd to version 2.9 +  * **Linux kernel** updated to versions **4.14.156** (from 4.14.151 in v19.07.0-rc1) 
-  * Many bugfixes improving support of devices. +  * **GCC update** to version **7.5.0** (from 7.4.0 in v19.07.0-rc1) 
-  * security fixes for curl, e2fsprogs, expat, wolfssl, intel-microcode+  * **Hostapd update** to version **2.9** 
 +  * **Device support bugfixes** for many devices 
 +  * **Security fixes** for curl, e2fsprogs, expat, wolfssl, intel-microcode 
 +  * **Sysupgrade bugfix** for an issue that could cause sysupgrade to silently fail to upgrade on ar71xx devices 
 +  * **Added support** for the following devices: YunCore XD4200 and A782, TP-Link Archer C60 v1/v2, ALFA Network Quad-E4G and R36M-E4G, AVM FRITZ!Repeater 1200 
 +  * **Disable image generation** for several devices due to insufficient flash space for the default set of packages. Images can still be built with the help of the [[docs:guide-user:additional-software:imagebuilder|ImageBuilder]] or [[docs:guide-developer:using_the_sdk|SDK]] with a more minimal set of packages
  
-Known issues:+When upgrading from 19.07.0-rc1, if you are affected by the sysupgrade bug on ar71xx, you need to manually edit ''/lib/upgrade/stage2'' and add ''/usr/share/libubox/jshn.sh'' to list of files in the ''install_file'' line (around line 51). This amounts to manually applying [[https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commitdiff;h=d5f509861e606ff680ebc551bcd4253a6545ac8f|this patch]]. 
 + 
 +==== Known issues ==== 
 + 
 +  * Sysupgrade from ''ar71xx'' to ''ath79'' and vice versa is not officially supported, a full manual reinstall is recommended to switch targets for devices supported by both ''ar71xx'' and ''ath79'' 
 +  * Images for some device became too big to support a persistent overlay, causing such models to lose configuration after a reboot. If you experience this problem, please [[https://forum.openwrt.org/t/19-07-report-devices-here-that-cant-save-settings/48046/2?u=tmomas|report the affected device in the forum]] and consider downgrading to OpenWrt 18.06 or using the Image Builder to pack a smaller custom image 
 +  * Some optional GUI packages crash with an error about missing "cbi.lua", install the ''luci-compat'' package to fix these 
 +  * Possible Wi-Fi issues with ath10k-based boards. If you encounter such an issue, please [[:bugs|file a bug report]] against openwrt-19.07.
