-  * Added support for the following boards: YunCore XD4200 and A782, TP-Link Archer C60 v1/v2, ALFA Network Quad-E4G and R36M-E4G, AVM FRITZ!Repeater 1200+  * **Sysupgrade bugfix** for an issue that could cause sysupgrade to silently fail to upgrade on ar71xx devices

 +  * **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.
