+v1.9.0   - (March 8, 2026)
+         - MINOR: Added an extremely unique feature to VPNMON-R3. Multi/Double-Hop VPN! While this kind of
+           functionality is available using major VPN providers, this is not a feature I have come across in
+           the Merlin FW world as of yet. This feature is capable of selecting and configuring an inner and
+           outer VPN tunnel, and when using 2 different VPN providers, gives you some of the best possible
+           privacy available. Unique to VPNMON-R3 and this Asus Merlin Community, this feature also lets you
+           use straight OVPN and pair it with a WG tunnel, or WG with OVPN, WG with WG or OVPN with OVPN.
+           This option is available under the configuarion menu -> Option #17. A full menu to manage this
+           feature has been added that lets you pick which VPN/WG slots, Hop Clients, and Advanced Settings
+           if need be, along with the ability to enable/disable, rebuild, and tear down routing rules.
+           PLEASE NOTE: Double-Hop VPN Client redirection is handled within the VPNMON-R3 interface, not
+           through the VPN Director in the main Merlin UI. 
+         - PATCH: Various inconsistencies and bug fixes around bandwidth measurements.
+
 v1.8.3   - (January 17, 2026)
          - PATCH: The Recovery Timeout should be defaulting to 1x, but it was inadvertently set to 3x. Thank
            you to @Tarek Yag for reporting this. Fixed!
