*) console – ‘ping’ command with specified value of ‘interface’ always forced
“arp-ping=yes”, fixed;

triggered when multiple routes with different values of ‘target-scope’
and ‘check-gateway’ referenced the same gateway IP address;
*) store – allow to use external disks;

    I loaded the x86 version last night. So far, it seems to be very good (for me). I don’t tax RouterOS as some might. The Firewall section for me seems to be working just fine. I really appreciate the new “Profile” feature that reveals the actual section loading on the cpu. I have since uploaded ROS to the two A/P’s that I monitor with good results so far. I’m sure there are a few quirks, but the only one I have identified so far is that Torch seems to default to “1” on port and protocol as opposed to “any” so they must be getting close to a good final release.

    Good to hear! I like the ability to run TOP on the router…should help troubleshoot for sure. What I’m really excited about is the ability to assign interfaces to specific CPUs!

    There was another issue I’ve been told has been fixed (summarised here in my own mikrotik-changelog-style-point-form-with-to-many-dashes-in-the-predescription)

    – fixed error where dynamic interfaces (pptp, pppoe) would be included in traffic-flow data when only specific interfaces were selected
