+v1.6.0   - (August 21, 2025)
+         - MINOR: Very happy to announce that "Unbound-over-Wireguard" has actually become a reality! With huge
+           help and guidance from @ZebMcKayhan, a methodology was developed that is easier, simpler and much more
+           elegant than it's Unbound-over-VPN twin. In essence, VPNMON-R3 creates a new virtual br0 interface,
+           ties that to the WG client of your choice, and assigns that virtual br0 IP as the designated outgoing
+           interface. Should the Wireguard client happen to go down or stop, Unbound will continue to resolve DNS
+           directly over the WAN.
+         - PATCH: Based on a recommendation from @JGrana, the RL (Email Rate Limiting) indicators will no longer
+           show up on the main UI (or in the config display) when AMTM email functionality is turned off.
+         - PATCH: Thanks to the keen eye of @ZebMcKayhan, important failsafe's for Unbound were not yet being
+           addressed. This version adds those failsafes. If you're coming from Beta 1, please make sure you
+           (1) update your script to Beta 2, (2) Disable Unbound over WG, (3) Re-enable Unbound over WG. This
+           process will then write the appropriate commands to your init-start and nat-start files.
+         - PATCH: Implemented Recovery Timeout Opportunities, they're kind of like second chances to allow your
+           connection to recover before issuing a restart. By default, connections will restart after your timer
+           loop finishes (default: 60 sec). The Recovery Timeout would extend the number of loops before it
+           would issue a reset, and hopefully within that time, would recover the connection on its own. For
+           example, your timer loop = 60 seconds. Your Recovery Timeout is set to 3x. This would mean if your
+           connection doesn't recover in 3 minutes, then it will issue a reset. This option might help bring
+           down the amount of times your connection resets throughout the day, but then there's also a greater
+           chance your connection might become unusable for a slightly longer amount of time. This was inspired
+           by @CaptainSTX! Thank you!
+         - PATCH: Added the router uptime value under the WAN monitoring section, some visual enhancements to
+           the main UI, and providing content values in the logs when you get "invalid ping response received"
+           messages, showing exactly what it was coming back with.
+         - PATCH: Added compatibility for AirVPN WG, which not only requires a Public Key, a Private Key, but
+           also a Preshared Key. A 6th field is now an optional requirement for AirVPN or vpn providers like
+           them who require this field. Both the Update/Maintain WG server lists and Run Server List
+           Automation screens have updated language, while code in charge of resetting the WG connection will
+           insert this Preshared Key into the appropriate NVRAM value for the WGC slot.

 v1.5.0   - (August 3, 2025)
          - MINOR: Well, actually kinda major. Wireguard is now formally being supported! VPNMON-R3 will show all
            5 Wireguard slots for more modern routers. Those who can only physically support 2 VPN slots will
