@Mikrotik product managers: Here is the real problem to solve during your next product update meeting: Suppose one itchy finger decided to tweak, improve, and add "new features" to the firmware that was not broken. As a direct result (and within 2 weeks) of the change 10 clients who upgrad...

Also it seems that version of routerboot matters and obviously routerboot doesn't care if you run DNS or anything else... so likely other software performance is also affected. I would take a close look at routerboot as it lies below the radar. Let me hypothesize here for a moment: Suppose an embed...

It is all true about regexp, and 80K+ records sure is a lot as these alone require 300MB of RAM. At the same time the dns only uses a single core, with other remaining cores available. I find the built-in dns quite a gem on its own, which, when paired with the power of RouterOS scripting provides an...

"Noticeable" screams placebo and/or other issues. You need to back up that claim with some hard data homie Agree that DNS may not be the root cause, and an issue may be something else. The important detail here is that the issue goes away after downgrade to 6.47.10, or 6.46.8. I reported ...

You need to back up that claim with some hard data I took some time to capture a full 1 hour video to demonstrate the difference between 2 versions: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- total_dns_boot time_version 6.46.8___~ 1 minute total_dns_boot time_version 6.4...

I discussed about this with Normis some time ago and he insisted Mikrotik does it properly, there shouldn't be cumulative changelogs, we should read all changelogs by ourselves. Certainly Mikrotik has the authority to choose the best RouterOS release and upgrade cycle in the best interest of their ...

Hi, I think I found what seems to be a bug in the dns, although I'm not sure what versions are affected. (here, I ran 'nslookup' to get the actual IP addresses of www.example.com used for demonstration purposes. # first let's add some new A and AAAA dns records for www.example.com /ip dns static add...

6.46.8 LTS --> 6.48 Stable --> 6.46.8 LTS Did you also upgrade the firmware. No i did not upgrade the firmware. The firmware was v6.47.8 (i forgot that I switched to Stable channel ~4 weeks ago.) Here is my exact (more accurate) update path: 6.46.8 (FW 6.46.8) LTS --> 6.47.8 (FW 6.47.8) Stable --> ...

Hi, Just found that MikrotikScript have disappeared from the available syntax options in my instance of Sublime Text What is more interesting, is that after I add the MikrotikScript package, Sublime Text will forcefully delete it, and this occurs only within few seconds after launch...

and it gets more interesting...
input:

Not sure if this belongs to this thread .
Installed v6.37.5.
Input:

:put [:if ([:find "Canada/Edmonton" "/"]=6) do={:put "works"}]

output:

works
;works

I'm puzzled at what I'm seeing in the terminal. How can this output be explained?
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
