Re: TOS 4.2.28 is released for update!
Will this also be released for the 210 series (ARM)?
The majority of those fixes should be applied to that series as well, especially the PHP exploit that's leaving devices vulnerable to attack/being compromised.
Additionally, if there's a kernel update in this or any updates (past, present & future), can that be indicated in the changelog with full version/point release numbering as it is quite pertinent information.
Please be more transparent with these updates, so further development on your platforms can flourish & exploit resolution can be resolved by the community alongside your internal team, when/where possible.

Re: TOS 4.2.28 is released for update!
It's denoted in the simplest of details; if further details can be indicated, this may be preferred by select users.
If having this simplified changelog with an expandable verbose one is possible (such that those that want the minute details, can access them), this could be great for all.
Every patch has been an out of band release, so just adding a line indicating that this release has Patch 1.18 + 1.24 (x64) integrated, will avoid inquiries about applying said patch(es).

Re: TOS 4.2.28 is released for update!
Have you actually fixed the underlying issue though, user input being passed to system/shell_exec with no validation?Fixed the vulnerability of php encryption
And what about the F4-210 which also have the issue
Re: TOS 4.2.28 is released for update!

I found it in the "Download" section of their website. . . . Perhaps they just forgot to include the link when posting in the forum.
