Upgrading to 23.05.4
================

Sysupgrade can be used to upgrade a device from 22.03 to 23.05, and 
configuration will be preserved in most cases.

  * Sysupgrade from 21.02 to 23.05 is not officially supported.
  * ipq40xx EA6350v3, EA8300, MR8300 and WHW01 require tweak to the
    U-Boot environment on update from 22.03 to 23.05. Refer to the Device
    wiki or the instruction on sysupgrade on how to do this change.
    Config needs to be reset on sysupgrade.

Known issues
============

   * lantiq/xrx200 target shows error messages in DSA switch
     configuration of the integrated GSWIP switch. (see:
     https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/13200)
   * OpenWrt 23.05.4 was signed with the wrong signing keys. The keys
     from OpenWrt snapshot were used for OpenWrt 23.05.4,
     OpenWrt 23.05.3, OpenWrt 23.05.2, OpenWrt 23.05.0 and the release
     candidates. A later OpenWrt 23.05 service release will use a
     different key.
