      No way to know for sure. There are still a few things we need to iron out before we can build an RC. But not many.

        @yellowrain 23.01 upgrade success :
        -GUI feels snappier
        -Upload speed improved ;)

        23.01-BETA (amd64)
        built on Fri Jan 06 06:04:43 UTC 2023
        FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT
        

        Had to :
        -reverse to 22.05 branch,
        -"pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade" (https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html),
        -switch to 23.01 DEVEL
        -upgrade.

          Thanks @stephenw10,

          One thing I wanted to let you know in my testing on my test machine their was an issue with the realktec re0 driver. On pfsense 22.05 default config out of the box my speed tests show proper up/down speeds for my isp connection. After upgrading to 23.01 my upload speeds suffer significantly. Here is a screen shot:
          WAN - re0
          LAN - em0

                  @chickendog did it work?
                  Says one of the files can't be found, and fails for me.

                    My guess is their was a driver change in freebsd 14?

                      @chickendog ignore my previous post. I did have a failure from the cli, but it seems to have resolved.
                      Now I have this weirdness:

                      The system is on a later version than official release.

                        @mtarbox Yeah I didn't try update, seemed too scary to go from 23.01 Beta to 23.05 Alpha.
                        Was scared a dev committed the wrong thing accidentally ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

                            Is 20230109-0600 the RC release? My pfsense update page is still showing 23.01.b.20230106.0600 as the latest dev

                              The branch only just happened so at this point 23.05a is almost identical to 23.01. BUT you don't want to be on that branch because downgrading is far more difficult so I would wait until you see 23.01r (RC) offered. Which should be shortly.

                              (If you are running ZFS of course you can just roll back the BE)

                                  @stephenw10 well of course I jumped on that sword.
                                  Everything seemed fine when I left the house this morning, and I haven't had any angry texts yet today.

                                      @tedquade Nice! just came up for me too. Done without any issue as well.

                                        @tedquade rolled it back, THANK GOODNESS FOR ZFS, rebooted to 23.01.b, and voila, there was the RC, all nice and shiny. Gave it the old cli razzle-dazzle, reboot, and after acknowledging things, all was good in my world. Also deleted the 23.05 environment.

                                            The dev branch on my pfsense still only shows 23.01.b.20230106.0600 available. No RC
