Mislabeled Firmware

Sorry for being pedantic, but I had a minor panic attack today after updating all my GL RM-10 Comet Pro’s. Have a script that will go and fetch the latest stable firmware and install it to the unit. As you can see from the screenshots (and my local machine) it is pulling the actual current stable version as labeled on the firmware downloads page.

But when it actually fetches and installs the firmware, it is labeling it as beta on the CLI version. I know this isn’t as bad as it seems, but just in case anyone runs into this, I thought I installed beta software on 15 production devices.

FIRMWARE_URL=$(wget --no-check-certificate -qO- https://glinet-firmware.admon.me/api/rm10/release/url | tr -d '\r')
wget --no-check-certificate -O /userdata/update.img "$FIRMWARE_URL"
nohup updateEngine --image_url=/userdata/update.img --misc=update --savepath=/userdata/update.img --n --keep_config --reboot > /dev/null 2>&1 &
root@glkvm:~# cat /etc/os-release | grep "VERSION="
VERSION=rm10-1.10.0beta2-14-gcf8b100d87
root@glkvm:~#

So if someone could verify that this is indeed a production level firmware and it was just mislabeled at the CLI installation that would save me from trying to roll back all the devices.

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for bringing this up! The firmware on our official site is indeed the stable release. Our system uses /etc/version and you can check it by running:
cat /etc/version | grep "RK_VERSION="
