Now Available: pfSense® CE 2.8.0-RELEASE

Is it just me or the world's most trusted open-source firewall didn't post the RELENG_2_8_0 branch on GitHub anymore?
Are you guys using a different git repository or open-source is just a marketing ad for v2.8.0?

This should be in a new thread. This is really for the 2.8 announcement.

jc1976

ok, sorry..

i'm not seeing any thread that's particular to 2.8 issues.. can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

You can just start a new thread in General pfSense Questions.

I find it annoying that the Netgate Installer makes you configure your LAN and WAN interfaces, then after installing pfSense CE you need to configure them again.

The new installer version (real soon now!) can pass those setting through to the resulting install. However it also requires code in pfSense and that will first be in 25.07.

@stephenw10

Can't we just have a full install ISO again?

It seems there are too many use cases where that is either the best, or only way, for us to install instead of the 'netinstaller'.
