v6.40.8 [bugfix] is released!

I have just updated rb750GR3 with dude package installed from 6.40.5 to 6.40.8 which resulted into bootloop without any beep.
Netinstalled 6.40.8 and imported rsc file generated by 6.40.5 before.
Only about 1/3 of the config was imported on the first run, so the rest needed to be copy-pasted into terminal window afterwards. It was not signalized anyhow.
After that, first minutes of run looks good…

So be prepaired when you decide to do the same!

edit: not so good… the ntp client looks to be not working and the environment of the scripts (variables) are not created/populated.

edit2: ntp client works finally… dont know why…

edit3: finally even the variables started to work. Good.

Why the router tries to connect to ip 224.0.0.22?

This is a multicast address that has something to do with IGMPv3. May be related to IGMP proxy or UPnP.

Maybe the multicast option was selected at that time in ntp client when I tried to convince it to work. At the moment these tryouts vanished. I do not use upnp at all nor igmp.

I was with my cloud core router restarting every day saying kernel failure,
I decided to update to last version and it did not solve, I decided to buy another cloud core and it continues with the same problem says:

system,error,critical router was rebooted without proper shutdown, probably kernel failure
system,error,critical kernel failure in previous boot

Have you tried writing to support@ ? Just curious.

I use The DUDE 6.40.8 client with wine. The server: 6.40.8 on RouterBOARD 750G r3
While changing the name of any my functions the client disconnects from the server with message: server likely crashed
and connects again
When I look into RouterBOARD 750G r3 log: Dude server started

I have seen BGP issues even without MD5 in IPv4. In fact the reason I stopped upgrading ROS was exactly that as BGP for me is a must. BGP routes sometimes would get updated but would expire after a couple of minutes and some other times would not. Latest current ROS versions seem to fix this issue. Bugfix versions had the same problem for me.

NETMAP not load SOURCE ADDRESS LIST

Huh? Everything looks good.

There is probably a winbox (ROS?) bug in 3.11 and 3.16 with the new RB2011UiAS-2HnD r2 - LCD option is missing.

ROS 6.40.8, Winbox 3.11 & 3.16. RB2011UiAS-2HnD does have the option, the new RB2011UiAS-2HnD r2 does not.
LCD setting in terminal works, LCD itself too.

If 6.40.8 is safe in respect to latest rumors on miners https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/massive-coinhive-cryptojacking-campaign-touches-over-200-000-mikrotik-routers/? I keep hear that bugfix is not safe, but I’m not ready to mass-upgrade and reconfigure my park of routers to current due to its new bridge implementation.

Please comment on this!

No need to comment on it, it is already being discussed since last Friday in two other threads.

You can find the needed information in the blog.

6.40.8 is safe.

i am curious which and when next bugfix version with “new bridge implementation” will be…6.42.x ?
“new bridge implementation” was a big change. so going from 6.40.8 to new bugfix (>6.41.x ) dont know if it will be “a walk in the park” for some users.

I’m afraid MT won’t care about that much, since they introduced that kind of change in rather minor version change (not on 7.0.0, but on next 6.x.x-current). So the best would be to leave 6.40.x be ‘like old one’ and keep develop 6.42+.

Nothing personal, still under impression from this “good” move as new killer-feature in next current release :slight_smile:

New version 6.40.9 has been released in bugfix RouterOS channel:
