I have been waiting for 5.12 because of an issue I found with SafeMode. It isn’t mentioned so I hope it is in there. The issue is when you use the winbox SafeMode button, changes to firewall rule order like putting your drop rule on top, always a bad idea, do not get released for 20 minutes and then finally roll back. That’s just long enough to give up and drive to the tower in the middle of the night rather than wait it out…
