Hi there,

Just now I checked my RouterOS for any updates and this was what I found. My existing version is 6.49.18 (upgraded earlier in Feb) and the latest available update is also 6.49.18, and there is a "Download & Install" option.

So I am a bit confused, is this a bug of some sort? Are both versions the same thing? Can I just stick to my existing installation?

Thanks...Lee

Both the "stable" and "long-term" channels will display that a new version is available, it is the same version.

Should you upgrade if you are already using 6.49.18 "stable"? The 6.49.18 "long-term" does not include any updates apart for a new build time, and discovery packets now use the "long-term" label.

No. Yes and No (build time differs as @itimo01 mentioned). Yes.
