Hi, Version 1.6 was lagging behind even more than 1.7 and was still affected by the lack of -fwrapv that was causing some CPU loops on certain systems depending on their compilers. So 6.5 months after 1.6.13, here comes 1.6.14, supposed to close that gap.
This new version closes a few issues possibly resulting in crashes up to and including 1.6.13, like commands "show map" and "show acl" on the CLI, or some issues with Lua cosockets depending on how the sockets were closed. It was also affected by some of the timeout issues on close that were affecting 1.7, and a number of bugs in the TCP checks that were resolved before 1.7.9. In practice if you're on 1.6.13 and are not facing any issue, there's no need to rush an update. However if you're on an older 1.6 and considering updating it, better pick this one. Similarly if you had to deploy some workarounds for existing bugs, now's probably the best moment to update. Note regarding future releases: with 1.6 now being at the third position in the backport process (1.8 receives fixes first, then 1.7, then 1.6), it's likely that future updates will be further spaced ; last 1.5 was one year ago or example. For this reason, do not wait before reporting a bug, and do not hesitate to ask for a new release, as a lack of release doesn't mean we're unwilling to do one, just that it's never high enough on the priority list to stop doing something else.
