Thanks for the prompt response jimp, looking forward to updating :)

Great product BTW!

@inflamer:

This is great news! When will we be able to update to 2.1-Release?

Thanks!

See my previous answer in this thread:
@jimp:

Not too much longer now. It would have been out already but we found a handful of items to fix during our testing yesterday and we're doing a new round of testing today, so far so good. If no show-stoppers turn up, it'll be out within the next 24 hours, give or take. We'll have to sync up the mirrors first, make sure all of the release notes are up-to-date, and a list of other things that happen after we confirm the release images are good.

Really Soon Now.

Awesome, looking forward to upgrading!

Nice one and congrats !

Will the version 2.2-XX be based on the current master of git (the one with tons of pull request that haven't been put on the 2.1 branch) ?

@kejianshi:

Release?

But what about the enless calls for added features and packages?

I was hoping to get the jedi light sabre add on package integrated so I can use pfsense for home defence! :(

Don't worry, there's an even BETTER package in the works: the TF2 Sentry Gun brains are being ported from Raspbian to pfSense! What, don't you believe me?

And MAJOR CONGRATS to Chris and his team!! WOOHOO! But, um, BTW…you DID find the FreeBSD NSA backdoor and removed it, right?

kejianshi

NSA has a back door in my FreeBSD? That would suck… :-
They already have the key to my front door :-X :-X :-X

Which has me thinking... The robotic sentry control package would be nice :P
Maybe you can put in the good word and get it rolled in or added as a package option before the release is released?
You have 1 hour... GO!

Yes, the current master/HEAD branch is what will eventually become 2.2 on a FreeBSD 10.x base.

That are loooong 24 hours :)

That are loooong 24 hours :)

Perhaps the pfSense developers found one of the NSA backdoors and are doing a last-minute patch :o

Downloads page won't load. Not sure if good sign or random downtime. I will stay optimistic.

LOL I confess that thought crossed my mind too. What do you do if a government person comes to your door and asks you to work with them? And they remind you the IRS is their "pit bull".

Being that the pfSense team are quite obviously committed to the principles of open source and all the decency and transparency that implies, I doubt they would destroy their labour of love by turning it into common spyware.

I will call the NSA, however, as I need them to restore a bunch of emails I deleted by mistake ;)

kejianshi

Get real… The NSA doesn't have storage for all that superfluous crap in your email... Thats why they can't violate you.

24-48 hrs seems to be stuck in space time continuum. lol

I haven't tried this method yet…

maverick_slo

Any feedback would be super nice…

Thinking about starting a all forum protest with huge banners demanding a response ;D ;D ;D

kejianshi

And, if they are anything like me, the response to that would be to check the code for an extra day or two just to be sure before releasing ;)

I'm just gonna chill. Its coming.
