3 months since the last update 4.11, and we only have this update? Is 4.x death?

2

is this the only change? =)

3

seems like it is…

API logins still stay forever in Active Users…

4

This is not a bug, this is a remember of your hacking actions via API.. xD

5

there’s also a firmware upgrade … at least in the mipsbe

6

One would hope that it contained the OSPF fix.

7

because of new device: RB493G.

8

Yes, RB493G is mipsbe, and “added support for RB493G” is changed fw for rb493 then.. your sentences are the same ; )

MT have a bloody horrible CHANGELOG history, I know for a fact that there is a ipv6 issue and a routing crash issue that support have told me is fixed in 4.12 yet it isnt in the change log.

Its completely unacceptable to have such bad habits like this, Whats the point of having it if its not accurate!

11

Agreed, its enough to drive one bonkers!

12

Maybe its not fixed for sure yet?

13

Doesnt matter, a CHANGELOG’s point is to detail changes! If they have messed around with routing then they need to say so. Its bonkers for a company like this to not say whats changed in a version. It means for us to confirm that the release is stable enough to deploy we have to retest every single feature we use before we deploy
