V7 ALPHA/BETA Testers needed?

Support,
At some point when you get closer to the release of alpha or beta will you need early testers? I ask because i have liked the Mikrotik RouterOS for a long time and have potential with the CHR platform or my CCR1036-8G-2S+ router on 10Gbps in my home. I keep logs and Solarwinds Orion network stats on the entire network and am willing to test or share data. I am also active in tests with a large fiber carrier in the US and have access to additional ipv4/6 networks with address space. Please PM me back if i can help provide statistics to help.
Thanks

Better to send this offer to support. I wonder what they will reply to you.

Alpha means “internal testing”.
When we will have “public testing” (meaning Beta), we will announce it here.

normis, the timing is still like everytime “when it will be then it will be”?

Someone from Mikrotik say on facebook - V7 beta NOT this year :frowning:

I hate facebook.

Jarda:
As I do not like beetroot, I do no eat them so if you hate Facebook do not use it :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I think MikroTik should take the current beta, change the GUI color and post it on the website as 7.0 alpha. Then all the guys demanding v7 will go away.

I am not using it. Happily. :slight_smile: But as long there will be such information like we will not see v.7 this year, I cannot change my mind at all… :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Where did you find this info?

We don’t need v7 alpha this year, we just need some serious bugs fixed in v6 and maybe a list what have been done with v7 and what will be done, and if possible an expected date, status update or whatever.
At the moment, we have an OS with some serious problems, and since 2013 we hear that “it will be fixed with v7”.

+1 It’s starting to sound like a broken record lately… Fixed in v7, fixed in v7, fixed in v7, but they can’t even tell us when v7 will come… For all I know, it could be the year 2020

So when can we get v7? With Apples removal of PPTP from macOS and iOS, I need to replace my VPN. L2TP with IPsec would be the natural progression - except it doesn’t work with multiple people using the same public ip (road warriors at the same hotel).

Programmers should totally stop the development version 6 because it’s such a patchwork, so little functional as ever. Mainly concentrate on the development of version 7 and it would go.
The main mistake is the decision to continue the development of version 6 and not start from scratch in version 7 as it was in earlier times. For example, from version 4 to version 5 or version 5 to version 6

Hi!
Ready to be ROSv7 alfa-beta-Tester ))))
I can provide my Home CCR-1016-12G and can (OK, I’ll be glad!) provide access for developers…
Have 2 ISP with /29 network on one of them

PLEASE! I wanna test it))))))

We ALL are ready! Unfortunatelly - the ROSv7 is “far far away galaxy”. And ROSv6 is totally unusable in real BGP ISP enviroment.

Doesn’t matter how much ready you are when mikrotik is not.

You forget CCR family also completely unusable in large-scale CAPS deployment. Single CPU cannot handle main control process…

We are looking for real x86 server hardware now but again blocked because of NIC cards like i210/i350 not supported (even though intel has released Linux drivers for kernels that V6 is using…)

Help?

ready to test EOIP, IPTV, CAPsMan to hap lite and 951g

Do you plan to release x64 version in V7 ? X86 is outdated as it do not recognize more RAM than 2G.

On one of the latest MUM’s they replied on the question why x86 is not supporting more RAM with:

“it’s political”
