What about User manager Report?
In V5.7 the report doesn’t work fine when insert the date period!! just work without date entry!!!

there are no changes for user manager

This one was really annoying but could not date to ask. This is the best fix in this release!

Hmm… So we have to wait for future release.

Did you make a report to support? what is your ticket number?

Build time 1.November and Release date 2.November. Only 1day testing. I am going to test in our network :slight_smile:

Those dates doesn’t indicate anything, maybe previous build was running for weeks, and this build just fix some typos. All i know that previous release was 16. Sep, so time between releases was longer than usual.

Yeah right. Testing began before v5.7 was released.

Hi Normis,

any news on those OSPF problems, using NBMA?

  1. Database description packet has different master status flag:
    http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/database-description-packet-has-different-master-status-flag/30658/1

this one just happend again this morning between a RB1100 on 5.5 and a RB450 on 5.6, and caused the momentary loss of all routes.
It’s really annoying.
And no, it’s not the link.

  1. Router is sending hellos only to one neighbor:

Did you report any of this to support? What are the ticket numbers? I will check status. If you didn’t report, well, forum users here don’t fix bugs.

What about my bug report ?

Any fix for it ?

http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/find-box-scroll-down-bug/49601/1

No, I did not.
There are already lots of other postings with the same problem for quite some time now.
Even an answer from MRZ from a year ago:

Please let me know if you’d like to get my sup files.

Great, thanks for DHCPv6. Any idea when Radius and DHCPv6 can work together?

yes, fixed

We are working on a OSPFv3 NBMA problem, but nothing on WDS. We need your reports, preferably now from v5.8

Hello,
thanks for releasing new version. Are there any wireless/nv2 improvements ?

dhcpv6 client doesn’t appear to work with pppoe-client interfaces, which is how my ISP (Internode) provides IPv6 addresses, and I’m not even sure if you guys support IPv6 on the PPPoE client yet.

Having support for this would be epic.

some small changes, nothing major, so no changelog

same here in NZ, was hanging out for it to work in 5.8 but doesn’t look good :frowning:
