OpenWrt has released stable 18.06 version, its first release since merging with its spin-off, LEDE (Linux Embedded Development Environment).

OpenWrt is a Linux-based operating sytem targeted at replacing the firmware for low-end consumer-grade router hardware. For a while, OpenWRT had started to drift outside the router market and into a more general single-board computer market causing a split in 2016 which resulted in the LEDE project. LEDE focussed more on the routers as well as worked to increase transparency of operations. At the beginning of 2018, LEDE merged back into OpenWRT and the combined project operates under LEDE's guidelines.

The OpenWrt project released a stable version 18.06 of the venerable OpenWrt Linux distribution for networking and low-end hardware. Users of OpenWrt 15.05 or LEDE 17.01 can upgrade without requiring an entirely new install.

This is the first release since OpenWrt 15.05.1 in March 2016 and the first since the LEDE project split off from OpenWrt a few months later in an attempt create an open source community with greater transparency and inclusiveness. The two groups reunited in January of this year under the OpenWrt name. OpenWrt has long been used in Linksys routers such as the circa 2015 WRT1900ACS, among many others.

    I think you might want to brush up on your vocabulary [urbandictionary.com]. Annoyance does not contain remotely enough REE particles to fit the definition of "triggered".
