Hi

Shouldn’t we be seeing the changelog from 6.45.9 to 6.46.7 not from 6.46.6 ? Going up a major version in a long-term release should be looked over a bit more carefully before we take the plunge.

Also what is the process for ‘upgrading’ a routerboard that does not have direct internet access from stable to long-term release channel when it is on e.g. 6.47.x? I give it the .npk from long-term, and even set channel to long-term in packages but log says that newer version is installed - seems only way to change channel is with proper internet access?

Thanks

We already had discussion about that without results
http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/v6-44-5-long-term-is-released/131452/7

Yes, that would be logical.

5

Mikrotik fought the Logic and Mikrotik won.

6

Flawless victory.

7

Lost buyers of our Mikrotik products.

Wow, i thought MT had forgotten the 6.46 train.
For long time it as not been listed under “ANNOUNCEMENTS” section, so you had to search for it to find it.

9

Upload File go to System Packages and use Downgrade Option.

10

The process is called “downgrade” …

11

snmp-get still not working.

12

Man, they fight even hard evidence through supout files.

I have an un-resolved bug report with a properly generated supout file that clearly shows the bug along with the logs they asked for along with screenshot as proof plus the configuration they suggested me to use.

It’s not that hard to understand why MikroTik doesn’t have the market share or popularity that Cisco, Juniper etc does.

13

Yeah I was waiting for 6.45.10 … very confused LOL.

By the way what does this one mean.
*) interface - added new builtin “static” interface list;

14

Please stick to the topic. If you do not have anything meaningful to say about the specific version, keep it to yourself or post it in a separate topic.

15

This is a very interesting changelog item, one that has never been in a stable (or development) release.

I find confusing that this comes to the long term release with barely no testing, has been first seen in testing in 6.48beta27, 2020-Aug-18 06:20 (announced here on 19th). Never been, let’s say, properly released before going to long term.

16

It was added in 6.47.2, so all is fine.

17

I’d be careful with this one and Wireless Wire products.

*) w60g - improved rate selection in low traffic conditions;

is a 6.47 change and 6.47 has been terrible for 60g reliability

18

Updated 5G gear, so far no issues. Not upgrading any 60G radios until it’s confirmed to be safe and working without any issues. Currently don’t have any spare hardware to do the testing either…

19

*) upgrade - fixed space handling in package file names;

system auto-upgrade still broken.

thx

Upgraded my home hAP ac^2 and I had a problem that I saw for the first time. It seems like router only preserved 200-something address list entries, and many were gone completely or only partially preserved, breaking access to the router itself and internet access (because I use those as NAT out address lists). Had to manually restore them from backups.
