Changelog for Unleashed firmware

PaulBrawn — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 10:31:13 GMT

Hi all, hopefully this is a simple one...

We have a site over in Switzerland that runs 9 unleashed R510s. It's currently on a very old firmware and following some issues with our guest network, I would like to get these units updated.

I see there are release notes for each firmware release, but it's going to take a while for me to download and review the changes in each release to ensure other services aren't affected. Is there a full changelog available in a single document to save me some time please?

Failing that, a summary of what's new / fixed since 200.4.9.13.47 would be really helpful.

I have a feeling Ruckus employees will just direct you to the "What's New" and "Release Notes" documents for each release.

Karthikeyan Krish and I highlight interesting (to us) new features in our Unleashed firmware selector tools. Karthikeyan's tool is here, and mine is here.

I also keep a big changelog, copied from the release notes, to help with my guides. I temporarily shared it here.

If you also also need the bugs, limitations and caveats for each version then you'll probably need to go through the Release Notes for each version. I made this a little easier - you can use the Unleashed tool I linked above, which has a link to the latest Release Notes document for every version.

Thanks, that's actually really helpful. I'm about to try out the upgrade. Do you know if there anything I should look out for on the R510's after an upgrade to 200.12? This seems like the last one with security fixes and worth going for.

Ah I see I can only go up to 200.7 on the online upgrade. I'm guessing that's likely for a reason so will tread carefully. I could do without an unplanned flight to Switzerland!

There are security fixes in all versions. Ruckus only announce security fixes when they're forced to (i.e. there's a CVE which mentions Ruckus or a high profile CVE which obviously applies to their products).

Especially the last 200.15 and 200.17 releases contain a bunch of unannounced fixes for serious security bugs.

So I'd personally upgrade to the latest available release for your APs :200.15.6.212.20

Ok, thanks very much. I was stuck on 200.7 for a few days as it wasn't picking up the firmware upgrade downloads, but after a bit of ssh and an NTP & DNS issue getting resolved, I'm now on the latest release. Glad I went for it in the end. Very smooth transition.

Thanks for the help!
