I’m surprised they managed to make the propietary QCOM drivers run on a board with 128MB of RAM, back then when I had the ac2 it OOM’d even on OpenWrt running the “small buffers” ath10k driver.

23

Have a small bug. On my CCR1009, when I right click Interfaces → Interface → any interface → Detail Mode in winbox3.41 just closed.

Thank you for clarifying, Sit75. My earlier post wasn’t intended as a direct response to the RAM issue you mentioned. I’ve been monitoring free memory on RouterOS since version 7.13, and my recent observation of approximately 280KB less free space after upgrading was meant as a general heads-up for the community.

Devices with limited free memory - say, around 200KB on 7.16 - could potentially encounter issues when moving to 7.17. Hopefully, this additional context will help others keep an eye on their device disk space during upgrades.

25

The Dude upgrade issue acknowledged, we are working on it.

26

Does this also fix NPT? It is broken in 7.16. I don’t see it changelog

27

MikroTik RB450Gx4 → 7.16.2 → 7.17 upgrade failed, free 5 kB of kernel disk space mikrotik

28

Workaround for now is to download 7.17 installer and run it manually. This way update succeeds and client is able to connect to 7.17 Dude server.

29

For any1 who upgraded to 7.17 pls check if it is still possible to downgrade to 7.14.3 after? Or it is now marked as not “allowed-versions” or whatever device mode forbids

30

It should be possible to downgrade to 7.14.3 if I read it right:

/system/device-mode/print 
     mode: advanced     
     allowed-versions: 7.13+,6.49.8+
     ...
31

Upgrade from 7.16.2 to 7.17 fails on a CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS. ~35MB of flash storage and ~3.8GB RAM available currently. Tried the upgrade multiple times.
Edit: tried to do the update on a second CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS which has a different configuration, got the exact same error.

upgrade failed, free 25 kB of kernel disk space

Thx good man

33

Dude CHR installs might lose other disk if configured with multiple disks. Made a ticket to support about this as well.

It is probably wise to wait for 7.17.1

34

hi, neighbors is broken for winbox v3.41 with de last update (7.17)
with winbox v4 is working fine

35

How do you go about rebranding Webfig?

If you use an old rebranding.dpk it doesn’t work. Do I need to regenerate it or do you still have to work on it?

The login page appears customized after loading the branding package but if I enter the credentials while clicking log in it adds /? instead of /webfig after the router address in the address bar and the login fails

36

dude client upgrade seems fixed !
tnx Mikrotik

37

Skins still don’t work on Winbox 4

38

Remember that “stable” in software releases means: “here you have a version that will remain for a while, we will not release a new version every week or two, so you can install this and won’t have to update it immediately”. The stability refers to the number of updates.
It does NOT mean that it will work in a stable way, i.e. will not crash or will not have problems with certain functions.

39

This has nothing to do with ROS 7.17, it is a Winbox 4 issue.

Wow… And how about me that, using semantic versioning as a reference, I was thinking that Stable could mean that the software manufacturer should only release as stable code that is free of any known bugs.

I think I’ll review a little more about versioning standards.
