Are the 4 new fixes considered as known issues in older firmware such as MR30.7 ? Absolutely not.  Sigh.

[RO]

Yup they were not in the known issues. I came to know of client balancing issue after I experienced it and called Meraki support

Currently having Radius SSO issue at the moment in my environment. Won't surprise me, if it's also known issue in version 30.7

I'm just grateful the fix is out. I've had new SSIDs staged in the 9/10 slots for a few months and during testing got caught up in the bug. We have yet to actually make live the new setup and now I won't have to redeploy everything.

[RaphaelL]

But my point still stands. Meraki was aware of the issue , worked on the issue without ever disclosing the issue. I don't understand what are they gaining by doing so.

Soooo, how long does it take for a firmware to go from "Stable release candidate" to "Stable"?

[cmr]

The more people who use it, the quicker it moves!

Where can we find out more information about the bug fixes? "General stability and performance improvements" is very cryptic.

We use VLAN ID tagging on some of our SSIDs so it would be good to know more details about the bug. What triggers it or is it random? How often? How can we identify it?

You will have a hard time finding that kind of info here. Best suggestion would be to contact your SE or support directly
