Hello, I recently bought Marble (GL-B3000), and I am satisfied with its hardware, however, when I tried to tweak something on OpenWRT (and I believe that it is the sales point I can do this on GL.iNet routers), I noticed the version used is quite old (19.xx). Is there any plan to update it? I also considered installing vanilla OpenWRT, but IPQ5018 has not been supported by OpenWRT fully. I remember, the first data sheet stated that it would be running OpenWRT 23.05, and I hope it will be updated soon.

Regards,
