Before an upgrade:

  1. Remember to make backup/export files before an upgrade and save them on another storage device;
  2. Make sure the device will not lose power during upgrade process;
  3. Device has enough free storage space for all RouterOS packages to be downloaded.

Please add this text to the text shown in “check for updates” on the device itself.
This is especially important in case the user selected a channel that will result in an upgrade to v7.
In that case it would be better when an additional warning is shown that an upgrade to v7 could cause additional issues not commonly experienced when doing an update within v6.xx.

The Christmas party simply took longer than expected…

It underwent 2 months of rigorous testing before release. :slight_smile:

No wonder with Eva in the company :slight_smile:

If this compile time is true, this is the far longest time between compile date and post date. Longest I did found other than this is the 19 day for 6.42.11.

:slight_smile:

Yes, see above Strods response.
We :potato: you guys

Or some forgot that it was done :slight_smile:

Just another strange notice. I do always open this page with scripts and announcement: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewforum.php?f=9 to look for new releases and scripts problem. But this time this page does not show the new 6.49.3 post??? But if you look at this page: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewforum.php?f=21 you see it. All other post are equal. One with 11 post and the other with 12?? Bug in forum, or some other posting error?

Hi!
I decided to update the CHR, take a look. And tell me, is it still 2021 or is it already 2022? (joke/reality) ?

P.S.
If I’m wrong, or it should be, then sorry.

2021: Correct at time of compilation: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/v6-49-3-stable-is-released/155840/14

Fixed post announcement placement. Not it shows in all forum sections.

I suspect the same thing - with all the excitement around v7, somebody possibly forgot that 6.49.3 stable was never actually posted.

Guys, have faith in Mikrotik … nobody forgot anything, they performed diligent testing and this takes time. :wink:
