TOS 6.0.794 (X86) is Released for Update

[TMjack]

Thank you for pointing out that the Docker application version is outdated. I will relay this feedback to the Docker PM to push for a version update.

Final version is going to be released in about 2 months

Final version is going to be released in about 2 months

so when you said "We've rolled out the new TOS7" this wasnt true !! as you now say its due in about 2 month?

it also means that these essential security updates are now about 7 months old by the time production users will get them?

[MikeZhang]

Our TOS7 beta version has been verified to be secure through continuous updates. Currently, it's undergoing final debugging, and the final version will be identical to the current one. You can use it with confidence.

can you confirm there will be no need to reset up the unit from a beta version to the production version when its released in the future as previous beta versions you have prohibited upgrading from

e.g. your TOS 6 production versions have this "2. This update package is not applicable to TOS 6 beta version."

so are we to assume that TOS 7 production versions will also have the same disclaimer that you wont be able to upgrade from TOS 7 Beta versions?

We have already taken these issues into consideration. When the official version of TOS7 is released later, users can directly upgrade from the TOS7 Beta version to the official TOS7 version.

ok thats brilliant, so now the question of TOS6 is this now EOL since you are no longer providing essential security updates to TOS6 and instead TM are telling us we have to use a Beta version of TOS7 to get them?

We will continue to provide necessary security updates to TOS6.

So why are we being told “ We've rolled out the new TOS7, which includes essential security updates” and to “give it a try” to the question of why no update to TOS6

So there are essential security updates in TOS7 but not in TOS6, we are being given a lot of mixed messages here

Regarding the TOS7 update issue, our previous response was based on the Docker version update issue. Currently, we are using the same Docker version for TOS7 as TOS6, only updating the Docker Manager for TOS7. We will first adapt the new Docker version to TOS7, and then, after evaluation and adaptation, deploy it to TOS6. Regarding your security concerns, we have not received any reports of security risks in TOS6.0.794. Please feel free to use it.
