MikroTik RouterOS 3.0 rc9 version is released. What’s new:

*) fix for rb100 - can change ethernet settings when interface in bridge/bond;
*) fixed problem - RouterOS did not boot on some routers
(reported disk not found);
*) fixed dns resolver - sometimes could not parse packets with AAAA records;
*) hide ppp interface & wireless passwords and keys in WinBox as well;
*) fixed traffic-flow - could hang multi cpu router and ignore targets sometimes;
*) fixed rb100 - ethernets could be set at random bandwidth limit after reboot;
*) console:
repaint whole screen after terminal size change while in editor
(same as pressing F5 or Ctrl-L). this solves numerous issues with
terminal resizing;
added more workarounds for the case when terminal is too narrow
(<4 characters);
now logical operators ‘&&’ and ‘||’ can also be written as ‘and’ and ‘or’;
removed ‘where’ and ‘from’ arguments of find command. now find command
can be followed by arbitrary expression that can use item properties,
e.g. “find dst-address in 192.168.0.0/16 and interface=wlan1″;
added ‘where’ argument to print command. “print where <expr>” and
“print from=[find <expr>]” are equal;
removed filters from firewall print commands, now write, e.g.,
“/ip firewall filter print where !dynamic” instead of
“/ip firewall filter print static”;
*) web proxy: fixed crash on stopping proxy;

MikroTik RouterOS 3.0 rc8 is released today! What’s new:

*) fixed problem - console did not accept ip address ranges correctly;
*) user manager - fixed problem with accounting creating too many sessions;
*) console:
added ip-prefix and ip6-prefix datatypes, written in address/mask
notation;
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: expressions of the form “(123/45)” (where first
operand is literal unquoted value) currently will be parsed as single
string, to write division put space before ‘/’ (like with ‘.’ operator);
added operator ‘in’ that checks if first argument is inside second
argument, currenty implemented for the case where second argument is
ip-prefix or ip6-prefix and first argument is either address or
another prefix;
don’t perform full reset of terminal on login;
fixed terminal capability detection, now windows telnet client
works better. TERM environment variable is ignored completely now,
it was overriding detected values before;
*) added support for Huawei E220 USB modem;
