PP8600 - Anyone upgrade to 3.7 yet?

[telecom116]

Anyone upgrade to Passport 8600 code version 3.7 yet? I'm considering moving from my old 3.2.3 version up to this, but am wondering if anyone has done this or have had any issues. Version 3.7 has only been out a couple of weeks.

Alternatively, I will go to 3.5.x until 3.7 has been around for a bit longer.

I upgraded from 3.2.3.0 to 3.5.3.0 over memorial day instead of jumping to 3.7 because I didn't think 3.7 had been out long enough. We haven't had much problem with 8600 code quality, but in a 24x7 manufacturing operation its hard to justify risk unless there are features/fixes we need. I'm planning to look at the 3.7 code branch for my next downtime window (Christmas...)

Also: be aware that the 3.5/3.7 releases require 128MB of memory and the older 8690 CPUs only came with 64MB. I think all of the 8691 CPUs came with 128MB, at least all of mine did.
