Now that there's also (it seems, finally) a long-term release, this also comes out. The latest version for v7 should be used as a reference, since it's RouterOS 7. If there is anything significant, I'll point it out.

Why to apply your settings? Its not fixed in this version that thing ? Why need to apply scripts to fix something that, should work out of the box with this firmware?

There's a topic specifically for this (besides the fact that it doesn't remove any rules at all, and what's written is visible to everyone...) don't pollute this, it's for 7.20.8 release.

V7.20.8 [long-term] is released!
