 FreeWRT is a meta GNU/Linux distribution for vintage WLAN router. In this context "meta" means, you can build the complete distribution from source. FreeWRT is meant to be an appliance development kit (ADK) especially designed for embedded system developers and advanced users.
 
-Our latest stable release will be FreeWRT 2.0!
+Our latest stable release is FreeWRT 2.0! It is a rolling release.
 
 The FreeWRT developer provides a menu based configuration to choose between classic routers, root filesystem flavours and a lot of software packages for your own Linux based appliance. The ADK downloads all software packages via the internet and creates a working toolchain (compiler, linker, assembler, debugger), kernel and root file system containing only the minimal set of software and drivers to support all integrated hardware of your router. The default firmware image configures existing non-wireless network interfaces so that you can connect via secure shell client to your router after the installation of the firmware image.
 
 The toolchain is based on:\\
- * Binutils 2.45
- * GCC 14.3.0
- * uClibc-ng 1.0.55
- * GDB 16.2
- * Linux-Headers 6.12.41
+ * Binutils 2.45.1
+ * GCC 15.2.0
+ * uClibc-ng 1.0.56
+ * GDB 17.1
+ * Linux-Headers 6.12.64
 
 The minimal system is based on:\\
- * Linux 6.12.41
- * uClibc-ng 1.0.55
+ * Linux 6.12.64
+ * uClibc-ng 1.0.56
  * Busybox 1.37.0
- * Dropbear 2025.87
+ * Dropbear 2025.89
 
 and some minor helper tools as mtd, fwcf, evtest and nvram.
