We are currently fixing last issues with 6.24, for those that had confirmed bug reports, please check if the issue is resolved. Thank you for helping. Some reported issues may not be addressed in this version, but please do write and report details
We have also included a new NTP package that includes all NTP upgrades until this day, if you use the NTP package for the server functionality, please upgrade to this release
We would appreciate all comments regarding the biggest changes - NTP and Queue Tree
*) ntp - fixed vulnerabilities;
*) web proxy - fix problem when dscp was not set when ipv6 was enabled;
*) fixed problem where some of ethernet cards do not work on x86;
*) improved CCR ethernet driver (less dropped packets);
*) improved queue tree parent=global performance (especially on SMP systems and CCRs);
*) eoip/eoipv6/gre/gre6/ipip/ipipv6/6to4 tunnels have improved per core balancing on CCRs;
*) fixed tx for 6to4 tunnels with unspecified dst address;
*) fixed vrrp - could sometimes not work properly because of advertising bad set of ip addresses;
I updated to 6.24rc10 (build 2014-12-22 13:43:03) using the all-in-one routeros-mipsbe-6.24rc10.npk on an RB2011UiAS-2HnD. Upon doing so and rebooting, the ntp and multicast packages were gone from the router, disabling some important functionality. I had to manually fetch and unpack all_files_6.24rc10.zip, and upload the two missing packages and reboot again, to fix it.
Your software development process needs a complete overhaul — you regularly regress on important patches and fixes, and updating RouterOS is always a roll of the dice as this is not the first time installed packages have vanished (not just becoming disabled, but totally gone) during an upgrade. This is not only the case for RC releases, but full production releases as well.
alexburke, if you mean routeros-mipsbe-6.24.npk package then it does not include the multicast and ntp pacages, they need to be uploaded toghether with bundle npk.
So.. sorry if this is the wrong place for a “feature” request. …but isn’t it as easy as compiling the x86 linux kernel with PAE support in order to allow 4GB+ RAM? Or would that break old x86 hardware? I’ve compiled for PAE before and it was simple and apps just worked. Seems like a trivial improvement.
Need changelog confirmation on 6.24 for CCR regarding PPTP fix from 6.23.
On 6.23 when using PPTP, after a while the user connecting to the CCR cannot access the LAN behind the CCR. I have already tried using proxy-arp on the LAN interface to no avail. The only thing that seems to work is using ARP on the LAN interface and rebooting the CCR.
The Quick set shows latest version 6.24, but at http://www.mikrotik.com/download is latest 6.23 or 6.23.1, and 6.24rc only.
Is the 6.24 really latest non RC version?
I have very strange VRRP result in this release ( 6.24 build-time: Dec/23/2014 13:38:45).
I upgraded for test two routers from ROS6.20 (RB450G and RB800) and result is:
VRRPv2 without authorization - both routers become master,
VRRPv2 with AH authorization - this works OK but slave router reports: received packet from 10.51.110.12 AH authentication failed
VRRPv3/IPv4 - both routers becomes master
VRRPv3/IPv6 with no global IPv6 assigned on the vrrp interface - works OK but this is useless configuration sometimes
VRRPv3/IPv6 with two global IPv6 addressess on the vrrp interface - both router report: “received packet from fe80::ff:fe00:X misconfigured IP addresses” and after few router switching both routers became master.
