Updates 6.8rc1, which is published 2014-01-16 What?
Contents are worried about the release notes has not been updated.
+5 for correct naming of builds. RC2… RC3… RC444 
Our system is built in a way, that we can change these numbers if we release these versions. Currently we don’t release them, they are internal “patches” of previous builds. We would have to do something differently then. But as you know, these are unofficial internal releases anyway.

See above
Release date? Today?
No, not today. The changes we are making, are not yet finished.
Add some sort of sequence number to your internal build names. Timestamp of when the build begins or revision number should work.

Can confirm I got another ~200 mbps while torrenting on my 1gbps connection running routeros 6.8rc1 under ESXi on a Celeron G1610T (sole VM, ~70% cpu load, pppoe connection, ~60 firewall rules).
