RegressionsLink to Regressions

The following regressions have been discovered after the release of this version.

US region default frequency plan changed from FSB2 to FSB1Link to US region default frequency plan changed from FSB2 to FSB1

  • Introduced: LORIX OS v1.2.0
  • Details: The default FSB for US is now FSB1 instead of FSB2 (this is not a true regression, only a undocumented and undesired change). Gateways with the region/frequency plan already defined are not affected, only new installs.
  • Workaround: when you use US region, be sure to double check the used frequency plan and select FSB2 if needed.
  • Fix: default has been reverted to FSB2 in LORIX OS v1.2.3 and LORIX OS v1.3.3.

Kernel memory leak done by syslog-ngLink to Kernel memory leak done by syslog-ng

  • Introduced: LORIX OS v1.3.0
  • Details: Upon logging, syslog-ng does a small memory leak in the kernel.
  • Consequences: after a few weeks to a few years (depending on logging frequency), the gateway RAM will be full and random services will get killed
  • Severity: very high
  • Workaround: restart the gateway upon a regular basis (e.g. once a week)
  • Fix: syslog-ng has been updated to v3.33.2 in LORIX OS 1.3.2

Do not use this version for production. Upgrade to LORIX OS >= 1.3.2.
