Will RUT240 get an upgrade to new release of RutOS 7.07 ?
Based on general policy described in EOL products page:
End of Support
For a period of 12 months starting with the End of Production date, we will continue to release new software updates for these products, including major new RutOS improvements, updates, and features. After that, for an additional period of 12 months, we will not release new software updates but will continue to provide security and bug fixes. After that and for a period of three years, we will continue to make our best efforts to provide customer support for these products, excluding new software releases and security and bug fixes.
For RUT240 - end of production date was 2023-12-31, so during whole 2024 it should get new software updates - with new: RutOS improvements, updates, and features,
so based on that I assume it should get update to RUT 07.07 – but on Wikipage I still see older 7.06 with some minor update with date: Latest FW 2024.05.07 and RUT2_R_00.07.06.11_WEBUI.bin,
but nothing about new 7.07 compared to RUT241 that was upgraded to RUT2M_R_00.07.07.1_WEBUI.bin
Starting 2025 it should get only minor updates and security/bugfixes etc. for next 3 years to the end of 2028-07-31, but probably no new reased of software and no new imrovement with next coming like 7.08, 7.09 etc.
Sorry for the confusion caused by our communications regarding RUT240’s software upgrades. Due to a misunderstanding in EOL process timing, the timeline for new firmware releases was inaccurate and EOL page info will be updated.
New software releases for RUT240 won’t be released due to the extensive R&D time required for older chipset development. However, we will continue to deliver critical security updates to ensure RUT240 remains secure until its final EOL date.
The point is that I was reporting major bug for me with Passthrough feature in this topic for RUT240:
RUT240/241 - [major problem] Passthrough feature not cooperate correctly with Juniper & Huawei Routers
I was extensively cooperating with AndzejJ for about 3-4 months ago via customer Teltonika support portal, and thanks to crafted by Devs fix to ARP issue it supposed to be fixed with newcoming patch that was included with newly released RutOS 7.07 but nothing with existing that time 7.06.xx.
RUT240 - didn’t received such patches, fixes etc.
RUT241 - has received new RutOS that includes such patches.
I am talking about changelogs described like that: RUT2M_R_00.07.07 | 2024.04.16
Improvements Network
Mobile: updated bridge/passthrough mode logic to flush ARP and add static ARP entry if MAC is specified
Mobile: added metric to default gateway when using passthrough mode
I also received temporal patch-file complied Devs like: 325652_RUT2_T_F13449_00.07.06.65_WEBUI.bin
(I still have copy of that file I want to make sure in case of lost file i will know it was fixed globally by Teltonika)
All I want is to deploy and include such patches to production with existing RUT240, as well, even with RutOS 7.06.xx, but so far changelog doesn’t include this.
