Look out all of you testing the UserManager…

The User Manager Package still shows .26

If you upgrade you will loose your usermanager..

Hold off upgrading untill UserManager is updated..

Hm. The OSPF default route bug might explain some issues I was having a few weeks ago with OSPF & the default route not redistributing properly. I’ll get this tested tomorrow (yay holiday, I can dink with the network during daystar hours & not annoy too many people), and see if it’s fixed.

since it seems that nearly everyone has requested a better change log for 2.10, what is the reason we can’t start requesting that now for 2.9.x? It’s not like the new version will suddenly generate, or allow a more detailed change log, that’s just something the guys at MT have to do.

the above are the issues that were listed that I do not feel are adequitly explained, and I would like someone at MT to give us a detailed description of each item.

I suggest that in the future we all require MT to release better descriptions and details with the change log, or we start emailed support for that, with each version they release.

I think for those why actually was waiting for particular bugfix, bugs are adequitly explained.

I, for example, was interested only in OSPF fixes, I reported a bug, i made some debug logging, send several supout.rif files

Why do you need any other information about old bug (or DEAD bug) ?

Bug list must have short representation of every fix, thats all!

I ftp the routerosx86.npk into my router, hope can upgrade early in the morning… after finish uploading the upgrade the router stuck… don’t know why.. have to reboot and upgrading the router to v2.9.27 after that everything normal… anyone have the same problem ?

I updated one of our RB532a running 2.9.17 by uploading the individual 2.9.27 packages and everything worked fine for me. This is a dual-radio AP…will report back if we notice any problems with it.

10

I have upgraded 10 RB 532 now with no problem at all. all downloaded throw auto upgrade!

12

Hi, i think your problem is by logging
*) changed webproxy-test logging topics from “webproxy,info” to
“webproxy,account”

2 RB532 and 2 P4 upgraded without problem :wink:

need some info on BGP, still bugged??
thank you

I think you should try it - you should help the Mikrotik support by revealing the bugs and testing the fixes.

In other case you can wait for the completely debuged version forever.

And, as we know, there is no such thing as “completely debuged version” in software

17

eaven big companys like Cisco have BIG bugs in there code :wink:

18

Anyone tested the VRRP bug fixes yet?

I posted them my supout file and it appears they fixed a column printing error that I was seeing but I haven’t upgraded yet to see. I’m waiting for someone else to see if the GARP and virtual MAC bug was fixed in .27 for VRRP first.

19

I just upgraded one of my APs that had a virtual AP running on it. previous version was 2.9.18. the virtual AP was deleted in the upgrade process… I just emailed support about the issue…

We could not reproduce your issue. VAP interface is alive after upgrade.
