@stephenw10 said in Pfsense CE 2.7.0 Release:
It is now possible to upgrade from 2.7 to 23.01
Just to share, I tried this over last weekend and ended up with a failed webGUI. It had an IP and I could ping it; however, after several attempts to relaunch or restart the webGUI nothing. I discovered the failure looking closer at the boot up script then saw the failure stated. Ended up reinstall v2.6 then upgraded to pfSense plus on my private cloud box.

Yes, it was possible at that point but there is now a php mismatch since 2.7 moved to php82.
When 23.05 is relased it will be possible to upgrade to that from 2.7.

Still at 91%:
Yes, but look at the change in numbers. It isn't stagnant. In the last 5 days there have been 8 tickets opened and 7 closed. It isn't like they've been sitting on the same number of tickets and it isn't going anywhere. Once new tickets stop coming in, or at least slow down, they will be able to work on the outstanding ones.

Blog entry from today, no word of the CE version only to moving forward to pfSense Plus:
https://www.netgate.com/blog/pfsense-plus-software-version-23.05-rc-now-availableAs @stephenw10 stated earlier, the focus will move to 2.7 once 23.05 is released. And if it is between 23.05 and 23.09 then I would expect 2.7 maybe to release sometime around July or August. I could be way off but that's my guess off of what I've been able to see.

@steveits a router indeed doesn’t need to be bleeding edge with all the newest features. However it needs to be secure. And being based on an EOL distro is a security concern. It’s not an immediate threat, but it should really be updated ASAP. When it takes this long, I think it is perfectly normal people start getting concerned.
I thought that 2.6.0 was based on the Stable branch of FreeBSD12 so it should be supported until the end of the year, no?

@nimrod Not until there's a release -- users will just create a new one. I see a new reddit post every 10-15 days asking about it regardless of the presence of previous ones.

Oh I missed that, thank you for the hint.
We like pfSense software, appliances and the most important the direct contact here in the forum!

Can you edit the title of this post so it ends in a question mark? Otherwise it looks like an announcement.

In my humble opinion, the 2.6.0 is stable and without serious flaws. The 2.7.0 will be better debugged than the Plus versions because everything that goes into the Plus is also benefic for CE. So I think we should be patient.
Just my 2 Cents,

And this for sure!
The 2.7.0 will be better debugged than the Plus
versions because everything that goes into the
Plus is also benefic for CE.2.7 is really nice to install, also it matches "faster"
if you hit something in the WebGui menue, it is
like a bit stronger acting and I mean there will be
more changes under the "roof", then we might
imagine from.So I think we should be patient.
Me too. But both (2.7. & 23.05 RC) went now fine
to install and also fine running without any greater problems and for home usage it might be not worth
testing them out. -
@Dobby_ I can see that 2.7 https://redmine.pfsense.org/versions/70
Is there a release date?

Only historical after it has happened.
As for predicting the future, your guess is as good as anyone else's guess. -
