      package manager GUI will still show old version.

      just restart tailscale service and show tailscale status page. it should show new version at bottom.

        @elvisimprsntr I actually reboot.

        You are correct, package manager shows 1.56.1 but at the bottom of the Status tab on the VPN | Tailscale page, it shows 1.68.1.

        And when SSHed into it using "pkg version" shows it as 1.68.1

            @elvisimprsntr Still no guts and therefore no glory.

            Eventually I will give it a try.

              Unfortunately, the previous Issue 15281 was just closed as resolved for pfSense+

              Opened new Issue 15619 for CE

                Just upgraded CE 2.7.2 to 1.70.0. Now all my clients are on same version.

                pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.70.0.pkg
                
                
                tailscale version
                1.70.0
                  go version: go1.22.5

                    @elvisimprsntr Interesting it's marked for quarterly now. I have updated too. No issues so far... except hanging on reboot which I discovered a few package versions ago and I don't know which one it started to break on 😬

                    Would be good if the repo still kept earlier versions. e.g. 1.68

                      It usually takes a few days to recompile for all platforms/distros.

                      There is a 1.72.1 already with a bug fix.

                        @elvisimprsntr 1.72.1 is a linux only release.
                        Anyway I am saying it would be good if we could have access to older versions if we needed. pkg.freebsd.org seems to remove the old packages.
                        e.g. https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.68.1.pkg is dead

                            If you want to save a local copy so you can roll back, manually download the packages.

                            wget https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.72.1.pkg

                                        Yes the tailscale version command doesn’t properly parse the “_”. My bug report was rejected

                                            What are release notes for 1.74.1_1 anyway? I see Tailscale just updated to 1.76 https://tailscale.com/changelog
