Release Candidate 1 is released. If no serious problems are found, it will become the final release. Usually there are several RCs until all is finalized.
Some important changes:
What’s new in 3.0rc1:
*) enable routing package on upgrade - to fix upgrade from 2.9 version
where routing-test package was used;
*) console - parser now accepts newlines as CR, LF, CR+LF, this fixes import;
*) user manager - using +/- image for group field show/hide instead of
confusing checkbox;
*) fixed bug - usb devices did not work;
*) console - added tab key completions in editor;
*) fixed slowness of > RB112/RB133C > during bootup (introduced in 3.0beta9);
*) console - fixed variable name lookup;
*) console - added back ‘/setup’ command;
*) console - added ‘/system script environment’;
*) console - fixed wireless interface configuration export;
*) integrated MAC Ping in to regular Ping in WinBox;
*) added support for Marvell IDE controller that is embeded in new Intel motherboards;
*) fixed bug - for routes received via RIP nexthop was invalid in some cases;
*) added ‘get’ tool for downloading files to router via > HTTP or FTP> ;
*) console - some properties could not be set via API, fixed;
*) user manager - fixed bug for PayPal payments with user data containing
specific characters;
*) ip proxy - setting parent proxy did not work;
*) fixed bug - dst-active was not updated after time update by NTP;
*) console:
fixed ‘do’ arguments in ‘/tool bandwidth-test’ and other
commands;
inside expressions variables can be referenced without putting
‘$’ before variable name;
‘find’ commands have new argument ‘where’ that allows to write
filtering condition as console expression;
when entering commands from prompt, global variables can be used without
declaring them;
/tool get address=10.0.0.74 path=test.rsc
error - contact MikroTik support and send a supout file (2)
It almost looks like the ‘get’ command is confused with the normal ‘get’.

the web proxy is there but I don’t see a way to disable it in the packages anymore.
Also in the web proxy settings the Total Disk Size and Free Disk Space is reading the size of my 512MB CF primary drive running ROS, but I have set web proxy to use a 120GB IDE secondary slave HDD.
Should web proxy read the size of this secondary HDD rather than the small primary used for ROS?
I have some troubles to format 256MB CF in RB532A CF Slot. Actually it takes to long. same is for check disk.
is there transparent proxy option ?, or we should redirect traffic to proxy port ?
I put to my RB5xx (new version) routerboard and tragedy…CPU go 100% Internet very slow, the winbox very slow and few time disconnect and RB looks reboot.
Downgrade to 2.9.44 works fine again. And the download from Mikrotik site (separate package Intel/AMD) come very bad. First go fast after slow down.
I had the same problem. I also upgraded to Rc1, and CPU goes to 100% (on a P4 2.4GHz with 1GB RAM). After a while, though, the CPU came down to normal. I reckon there was background upgrades or something going on, as this is a User Manager PC.
Another problem I have, I loaded Rc1 NS on a RB532 Rc4. Now the RB is continuously rebooting. I get about 2-3 ping replies, then the RB reboots. I have to go back to the high site tomorrow to fix using net install.
RB112 SR9 connected to AP with 2.9.44. Upgrade to v3 RC1, connection will not come back. Station will not find the AP and RB112 CPU shoots to 100% and becomes very unresponsive in Winbox. Link is 3 miles -79 on 2.9.44 w/ 9 dbi yagi station and 14 dbi sector AP. Data to default and configured to lowest speed settings. Power configured to default. Very disappointing for a RC.
I don’t know what you upgraded from, but one common issue with the older (beta) releases was that the dude package was installed and turned on by default. Those that are seeing processor issues may want to check and be sure that is turned off.
I really like your idea of a process list, like in Windows. Then one could see if your eg queues, PPP sessions, NAT Rules or whatever is causing high CPU usage.
