-This service requires the following packages to be installed on your router: ```dnsmasq``` or ```dnsmasq-full``` and either ```wget``` and ```libopenssl``` (for OpenWrt CC 15.05.1) or ```uclient-fetch``` and ```libustream-mbedtls``` (for OpenWrt DD trunk and all LEDE Project release and snapshot builds). Additionally installation of ```coreutils-sort``` is highly recommended as it speeds up blocklist processing.

 ## What's New
+1.5.8:
+- Better start/stop/reload logic.
+- Better uninstall logic.
+- Better start/stop/reload from Web UI.
+- New command-line ```check``` command.
+
 1.5.7:
 - Much stricter filters for hosts and domains lists resulting in better garbage removal.
-
-1.5.6:
 - Better handling of service start/enable from Web UI and enabled flag management.
-
-1.5.5:
 - Implemented support to set one of the router LEDs on/off based on the AdBlocking status.
 - Fixed the output bug when verbosity=1.
-
-1.5.3:
 - No longer using enabled in config file, Simple AdBlocking Web UI now enables/disables service directly.
-
-1.5.1:
 - Reworked console/system log output logic and formatting.
-
-1.5.0:
 - Processes already downloaded lists in the background while downloading next list from config, dramatically increasing overall speed.
 
 1.0.0:
