What’s new in 6.2 (2013-Aug-02 10:37):
*) console - added “on-error” argument to ‘:do’ command that is executed
if command raises error;
*) hotspot - fixed chap error after failed http-chap login (broken in v6.1);
*) console - added new ‘:return’ command that interrupts execution of script
and passes argument as return value if script was called as function;
*) routerboot - fixed upgrade from RouterOS (could fail on some units);
*) userman - fixed payment gateway response notify processing;
*) console - resolved issue with ‘from-pool’ propery in ‘/ipv6 address’;

line-by-line script import. By default import whole script at once
and don’t print it, as it was in version 6.0;

For backwards compatibility global variables are first looked up in
script parametrs;

Tremendous Changelog!
go ahead for the best release and kill more bugs!
jajajaja
Oh hell… just updated and now same sh** as 6.1 ! What are u doing guys?
Again crashing, again kernel panic and again it seem’s to be an IPSec problem?!
SoKaR need more information as all known IPSEC problems where resolved in 6.2
Well done Mikrotik peeps…
Here’s hoping that this is a good base to start from and continue onto version 6 of ROS.
If I may ask. Most of the releases/work since ROS 6 came out have been maintainence/bug fixes. That I think is good. I think that should continue.
However I am curious if more things are going to be added. Like echo functionality in BFD, or BGP labeled unicast, or FRR capabilities, or the myriads of other requests.
Not looking for an ETA or anything…just curious if the next release cycle from Mikrotik is leaning to be more bug fixes, or if it will be more features…
As always, yalls are awesome 
new routing stuff is going into v7, which contains the long promised “new routing engine”
I just sent u an E-Mail (support@mikrotik.com) few seconds ago with two supout files.
SoKaR you have a wild mix of different packages, each from another v6.2 build. re-download them ALL and upload exactly the same set you have now, so that they don’t make conflicts. Your file:

To ALL: please upgrade ALL packages, not just system, or just some of them, especially if you used a pre-release v6.2 build.
Okay will give a second try now :-S
We also found an IPsec issue that could be related to your specific config, so problem still exists on our site too. We will make a special fix for you to test.
no news about Qualcomm USB CDMA Modem support ?
[Ticket#2013061366000068]
I would also suggest to install only packages that you need, it is funny to see wireless package on CCR , or routing package on stand alone home router.
At very least keep them disabled.
Yes all packages are the same release now and IPSec will still crash. Do you need again a supout file?
What about problems with invalid ip from forum topics like this - http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/pppoe-server-glitch/66997/1 or this - http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/rb1100ahx2-ros-6-1-pppoe-problem-dynamic-running/67509/1
I don’t see any information about solve this problem in the changelog.
you must contact support to report issues, not all topics of this community forum are cheked for reproducable issues. You must send supout.rif files and instructions to support@mikrotik.com
Yes, support know about this problem and one of the last thing i heard from he was
Hello,
We hope to introduce fix in the next RouterOS version (6.2).
Regards,
Sergejs
So, fixed or not?
I have early installer 6.2 pre.
And now I tried to upgrade the system via Winbox -
System → Package → Check-for-updates → Check-for-updates → System is already up to date
It compare only version number but not release date ?
added /ip settings allow-hw-fast-path setting to control AR8327N hardware ipv4 fast path;
This sounds very interesting, can anyone elaborate on what is fastpath’d?
Sounds similar to Cisco’s CEF or the earlier fast switching. ASIC based hardware forwarding? It would be nice
The new console / scripting changes are very nice! Some really good additions, especially the first one for error handling. Thank you MT.
