What's new in 6.47beta49 (2020-Mar-20 07:08):

Important note!!!

- The Dude server must be updated to monitor v6.46.4 and v6.47beta30+ RouterOS type devices.
- The Dude client must be manually upgraded after upgrading The Dude server.
- Make sure LTE APN Profile name does not match any of the DHCP server's names if LTE passthrough is used.
- The Dude requires "winbox" policy instead of "dude" to monitor v6.46.4 and v6.47beta30+ RouterOS type devices.
