When I was looking through the git repo list of commits I went past the one called "core191: start updater"

So I was also checking the commits from CU190.

squid I didn't test when I checked it. Using squid -v I can confirm it was correctly updated in CU190 and so no problem for CU191.

dhcpcd had a version update in CU190 but it turns out it wasn't shipped in CU190 and so that is why dhcpcd --version shows the old version in CU190 and in CU191. So dhcpcd could definitely do with shipping again.

wlanap.cgi is a very interesting situation.
It turns out that it is installed when you do a fresh install but if you don't have hostapd installed then it never gets updated.
If you install hostapd it then gets updated to the latest version and if you then uninstall hostapd then wlanap.cgi is also removed.

It turns out that wlanap.cgi is not commented out in the web-user-interface rootfile.

So when I was checking I was doing it with an old version of wlanap.cgi in my vm testbed, because I don't have hostapd installed on it.

So all the wlanap.cgi updates were correctly installed and I confirmed this by installing hostapd and then checking some of the commit changes in the freshly installed wlanap.cgi

I will provide a patch to correct the web-user-interface rootfile. Not critical for this to go into CU191 Testing as wlanap.cgi has been uncommented since at least CU90 and probably from when it was first created.

So sorry for my error although it did allow me to find some interesting things.

Regards,
Adolf.
