Hello development folks,

Core Update 163 (testing; no release announcement or changelog has been published, yet) is running here for about 24 hours by now without any major issues known so far.

On my relatively fast, relatively low-latency DSL connection, CAKE did not introduce any noticeable change so far, but this was kind of expected. It's a bit sad to have this reported, knowing how much effort went into this feature. Let's hope it makes IPFire more usable behind slow/high-latency internet connections.

Tested IPFire functionalities in detail: - PPPoE dial-up via a DSL connection - IPsec (N2N connections only) - Squid (authentication enabled, using an upstream proxy) - OpenVPN (RW connections only) - IPS/Suricata (with Emerging Threats community ruleset enabled) - Guardian - Quality of Service - DNS (using DNS over TLS and strict QNAME minimisation) - Dynamic DNS - Tor (relay mode)

I am looking forward to the release of Core Update 163.

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
