Mikrotik Changelog 6.37

What’s new in 6.37 (2016-Sep-23 08:20):

— IMPORTANT! WIRELESS PACKAGE CHANGES:

There will be only one “wireless” package starting from RouterOS v6.37.

— IMPORTANT! DFS CHANGES:

DFS configuration in RouterOS has been redesigned, now device looks at specified country settings (/interface wireless info country-info), and applies corresponding DFS mode for each frequency range automatically, making dfs-mode setting unnecessary.

Please, check that your frequencies work with corresponding DFS settings before upgrade.

*as you can see above they are making things far more clear these days.

!) console – dfs-mode setting does not exist any more and all scripts with such setting will not be executed;
!) dude – (changes discussed here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=110424); – *Thrift reports some good things about the new version
!) dude – from now on dude will use winbox port and it will be changed automatically both in client loader and agent configuration;
!) ethernet – added new loop-protect feature for ethernet, vlan, eoip, eoipv6 interfaces, http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Loop_Protect ; – *Need to do a little testing. Looks like”If I see my mac come back on the port, shut it down”
!) wireless – “wireless” package included in bundle “routeros” package;
!) wireless – “wireless-cm2” discontinued;
!) wireless – “wireless-rep” renamed to “wireless”; – *Everything has collapsed into a single package, very nice!
