API Sessions do not disappear.

RouterOS General
1

I’m running firmware 4.11 (latest stable on the site). When connecting with API and disconnecting, the API session stays in the active user list. Over time these accumulate, and I have seen crashes when this list gets too big. It was fixed in the past, but it is back again. Also, when viewing in Winbox the VIA field is showing up as “unknown” instead of “api”. Can this be fixed in the next version?

So, we have to wait for v5 to become stable. Nice. :frowning: Is there a timeline on v5 stability? I’m also anxious to see performance of Metarouter if it’s fixed or not in v5.
