+With the 19.07 major release, the OpenWrt project brings all supported targets back to a
 single common kernel version and further refines and broadens existing
 device support. It also introduces a new ''ath79'' target and brings support for WPA3.

 ==== Target transition from ar71xx to ath79 ====
-This release provides initial support for the new ''ath79'' target, the future device tree based successor of the popular ''ar71xx'' target. For 19.07, both targets are still built, but it is recommended to switch to the ''ath79'' target whenever possible: future releases of OpenWrt will drop support for the ''ar71xx'' target. See the [[docs:techref:targets:ath79|ath79 technical reference]] for rationale about the transition.

 To perform the upgrade, please follow the instructions from [[docs:guide-user:installation:ar71xx.to.ath79|Upgrading from ar71xx to ath79]]. Functionality for a given device should be equivalent between the two targets: if this is not the case, please [[:bugs|report the issue]] and revert back to ar71xx if needed.

 ==== WPA3 support ====
-The 19.07 release brings initial support for WPA3. However, WPA3 is not enabled by default and **requires** installing specific packages: to run WPA3 as an access point, ''hostapd-openssl'' is needed.  For use as a Wi-Fi station, you need either ''wpa-supplicant-openssl'' (station support only) or ''wpad-openssl'' (AP + station). Due to their large size, these packages are not installed by default, and it is impossible to install them on devices with less than 8MB flash.

 It should also be noted that many existing client devices will never support WPA3, and that there are client devices that support WPA2 but cannot connect to an AP configured with WPA2+WPA3 mixed mode. Please only file bugs if you are sure the problem is not client related.
