A quick note about updates that now show on the software update page:



Two minor software updates have been posted for Joebox 12 users:

xorp_maine 12.1
netttools 12.1

These updates are minor and optional.

The upgrade to XORP is a migration to the newer version of the routing
engine that will be used in the next major release.  It resolves a rare
OSPF timer bug which only affects intradistrict MSLN networks (all schools
connecting through a Joebox).

The nettools update is an update to a troubleshooting tool used on the
command line by engineering staff and has no impact on services.

Note that Joebox G2 (2nd generation) users running the 13.x code base have
already been running these updates; they have been backported to 12.x




The next major release (which includes the new MECguard SSL) will be 15.
 We're still working with MECnet to resolve outstanding issues on this
release, but it should be available fairly soon.  15 will work on both
the original and G2 Joebox.
