2.2-ALPHA Snapshots Available

@ermal:
php-fpm instead of php in general.
More optimal usage of fcgi in general to avoid careless forking around.
strongswan instead of ipsec-tools.
Apart that not many other changes apart improvements in general and getting to FreeBSD 10.
And for the first time in a very long time, pfSense will be somewhat in-sync with the mainline FreeBSD tree.
FreeBSD 10 also has a much-improved 'pf'.
The "not many other changes" was intentional. By limiting the scope we stayed out of the mess that bogged down the 2.1 release.
The method used: Set an achievable goal; Meet it. Repeat.

Any planned improvements regarding better AES-NI support and performance?
-
any idea if there will be ECMP support?
it could enable loadbalancing when dealing with dynamic routing protocols like ospf, bgp, rip.
might it even help to solve the issue's with loadbalancing certain services like squid? What are the devs thoughts about this?thanks

It's in development but is not likely to make 2.2. More news on that will come later.

THANK YOU for this.
IGB drivers seem to perform flawlessly with minimal tuning and various routing quirks have vanished.

The issue isn't "AES-NI" support. The issue is that AES-GCM isn't implemented in FreeBSD.
We're fixing that, but as jimp said, it's unlikely to make 2.2.

"Support for AES-NI instruction and intrinsics has been added to gcc. The aesni module has been improved to use pipelining when possible. This results in a significant speed up for AES-XTS and AES-CBC decrypt. " according to: https://wiki.freebsd.org/WhatsNew/FreeBSD10#Kernel.2C_hardware_support_.26_other_low_level_improvements

@ermal:
strongswan instead of ipsec-tools.
Does that mean we'll get IKE v2? I'm getting a bit tired of connecting to ASAs and having their admins make comments about having to "downgrade" their equipment.

Rapid, iterative development. That's the way to go. Glad to hear this.

I assume that 2.2 is built with LLVM and not gcc. LLVM has had AESNI for a few years now.

I saw one of the first posts mentions that you wanted CARP tested.
I can install this on my home setup secondary router and enable CARP again, should you be able to sync between 2.2 and 2.1-RELEASE (i386)?

@ermal:
php-fpm instead of php in general.
This is a fairly big improvement for memory usage.
On a 256mb system (ie ALix2d3), it should be safe enough to turn opcode caching back on which provides a nice performance win.

Gitsync master? Or other??

Master, until it gets branched. Gitsync is only marginally useful these days though.

Thanks! 8)
Just trying to break things until someone goes over and kicks the snapshot server. ;D

unable to install package SQUID 2.7 and squidguard
ERROR: No digital signature! If you are SURE you trust this PBI, re-install with –no-checksig option.

Hi
Are 64bit snapshots stopped?
Thanks
-
We have been focused on getting 2.1.2 out to fix Heartbleed. 2.2 snaps will be back around soon.

@ermal:
strongswan instead of ipsec-tools.
Will settings be automatically migrated for ipsec tunnels, or does the move mean setting up the tunnels from scratch?
Having a very peculiar problem with my connection that started showing up since i started using the 2.1.1 betas, and that has been sticking around since then, so testing a different ipsec stack sound tempting…
