      Hello

      Please share your positive and negative updates about this release.

      (I am actually still on 24.03 and skipped the previous release as it had issues (rebooted by itself every 5-6 min), and I was suggested to do a "clean" reinstall (e.g. wipe out my drive), and I did not feel like doing so.)

      TIA

        @chudak Upgraded around 20 minutes ago, I still have a boot environment ready to boot in 24.11 firmware.
        Upgraded from 24.11 to 25.07, upgrade took around 10 minutes on a SG-4100.

        Packages installed:

        (Using KEA as DHCP | Exporting netflow and logs to Graylog) <- Confirmed working.

          I may be biased. 😉 But I've run that upgrade many, many times on a lot of hardware and I'd recommend it!

            Just did the upgrade from 25.07RC to 25.07RELEASE.; Absolutely no issues whatsoever. On a 4200 the total downtime was < 2 mins. I say that because monitoring didn't trigger except to log the reboot itself.

            Environment:
            Netgate 4200
            LAGG interfaces
            Multiple VLANS with an IOT secure cell
            Dual stack IPv4/v6 (RA managed mode with DHCPv6/DDNS)

              I'd wait. I just bricked a VM doing it from 24.11. Got 403 Forbidden soon as I pushed the upgrade button and SSH stopped working, or more accurately it would auth then immediately boot me out... and it just locked everything up for 30 minutes. I finally tried a reboot and the rc.init was all screwed up. I just reloaded from the last snapshot.

              Now I have another mini PC with the same issue, no Proxmox snapshot I can backup on that one.... ugh.... I may have to rebuild that one from scratch... son of a.....:(
