LEDE (OpenWrt embedded Linux distribution) 18.06.0 released
OpenWrt/LEDE is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution for embedded devices (typically wireless routers). LEDE is based on the OpenWrt project. Unlike many other distributions for routers, LEDE is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable operating system for embedded devices. In practice, this means that you can have all the features you need with none of the bloat, powered by a modern Linux kernel.
LEDE 18.06.0 released, LEDE (Linux Embedded Development Environment) is a divergence between OpenWrt developers after a branch. There are currently rumors of merging OpenWrt and LEDE but have not yet been implemented.
