          Beta 6 (?) from 15 may up and running.

          Completely aware, and that’s not a RC or similar indication that a final release is imminent.

            This is not an RC (2.8.0) thread. See Topic at top of page. It's Plus stuff here 😊

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??

              I am aware of that. My comment was in relation to another post above.

                This must be one of the longest BETA periods for pfsense. The first BETA was released in early february as far as I remember. That’s almost 4 months now, and still no RC.

                Is it going to replace/be renamed to fit the schedule of a 25.07 release, and simply bump all planned versions one .xx?

                Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

                  @keyser If betas uncover issues, they need to be fixed, There isn't much value pushing out half baked code and then release fixes that need to be tested in production environments AGAIN.
                  Rebooting firewalls in production with new firmware is never for the faint at heart.

                  Additionally 25.03 is in sync (if not based) on 2.8ce (which has a release candidate too)
                  At least freebsd version is the same (and had the same issues too).

                  For what is worth, 25.07 might get skipped and go for an early November update, (25.03 stands for March 2025) but in essence this is rather irrelevant since its the features (and stability) that counts, not the versions.

                    But 2.8 has been released, many many minutes ago! (/s)

                    My comment a couple years back was that using year.month notation would always imply a release date and thus “get Netgate into trouble” by setting expectations, three times per year. IOW, if it was named “25.A” we’d just be waiting.

                    Microsoft went through that with Windows 10 and eventually changed to two releases a year, then H1/H2 numbering, then just H2 with new features being added along the way.

                    Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                    When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                      @SteveITS Comparing Microsoft to Netgate has its own merits :)
                      Do you really think that expect from the ones that lurk in this forum, anyone has a clue what 25.03 really stands for?

                      In any case its nice to see 2.8ce released, and its rater safe to expect a plus rc really soon.

                      I guess all those comments regarding abandoned ce version are now irrelevant too.

                          Are you kidding?? There's no source code available for 2.9! :(

                            @SteveITS So does this make it an abandoned project?

                              No source (code ?) for 2.9 ?

                              Took me one click to find this https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense :

                              71593a99-41b3-4df9-9210-b2945c4fdece-image.png

                              and just for fun, see what marcos-ng wrote a couple of hours ago : it's a solution for the IGMP firewall log issue, see elsewhere on the forum.
                              So, that one didn't make it into 2.8.0 and will be part a future version, let's say "2.9.0".

                              I probably just listed the first official System path for 2.8.0 😊
                              And because pfSense plus 25.0x will come out later on this solution will get included.

                              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                              Edit : and where are the logs ??
