After more than a year of development Bering-uClibc-5.2 is released as new major, stable version of LEAF Bering-uClibc.

It is based on the latest Linux longtime kernel 4.1 and provides significant updates for various packages, new packages and improvements of the user experience.

The squashfs based modules.sqfs replaces the tar-gzipped tarball modules.tgz. This reduces RAM size during autodetection. Additionally autodetection of modules has been improved to run during boot; so in most cases saving modules is only necessary if you want to reduce boot time, or if you have minimal space on your boot media.

Among the major package updates, the most notable ones are perl, squid and snort.
