Hello,
since I have upgraded from 6.32.3 to 6.33 the RB wants to send strange packets.
Where does this come from?
In Log I only see that a TCP connection to 169.254.169.254:80 want to go out (I have set a hostname).x.x.x.x - - [09/Nov/2015:00:12:04 +0100] "GET /latest/meta-data/public-keys/0/openssh-key HTTP/1.1" 200 604 "-" "-"
x.x.x.x - - [09/Nov/2015:00:12:05 +0100] "GET /latest/meta-data/hostname HTTP/1.1" 200 230 "-" "-"
New software release strategy
We have introduced a new software release strategy, where bug fixes will be separated from new features. Now, you will be able to upgrade RouterOS without adding any new features, just the most important fixes.
Starting from v6.31 you are able to select a release “branch” in the quickset upgrade menu and web download site. The choices are “Bugfix only”, “Current” and “Release candidate”. Bugfix only will only contain verified fixes, and no new features. Any version can be chosen to be a bugfix version, it is not indicated by the version number, but RouterOS will show the version type (starting v6.33).
The Current release contains the same fixes but also new features and other improvements, sometimes also less critical fixes than in Bugfix. And finally the Release Candidate is more likely to a nightly build. We will not do intensive testing before publishing these, only check if the upgrade can be done and if most features work fine.
If you need stable firmware- use 6.32.3 (the previous stable was 6.30.4).Is there any real stable 6.xx firmware available?
licensing - fix unneeded connection attempts to 169.254.x.x must be CHR only (introduced in 6.33);
