2.3 is RC

jwt

and the latest build also says FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE even before the FreeBSD.org site has made a release announcement - very pro-active!

The changes in the toolchain and the move to pkg(ng) mean that we can generate updates very quickly, and closely follow FreeBSD for both src and ports.

This is essentially the first time pfSense has released on top of a just-released FreeBSD.

It will not be the last.

Error: Error trying to get packages list. Aborting…
pkg: Repository pfSense-core cannot be opened. 'pkg update' required
pkg: Repository pfSense cannot be opened. 'pkg update' required

Same errors observed when I upgraded from 28 March beta to 31 March RC on an amd64 VM. Everything seems to work OK so not sure how serious it is.

Appears to just be cosmetic, but yeah we'll get it fixed.

please file a bug

the small bugs you may encounter are due to the date the devs decided to publish this ;)

Great !

What is the Base URL to put in the updater settings for a X64 version ?

Thank you,

@jimp:

The RC images are being tested internally before we publish them, they'll be up before too long.

There isn't an active "auto-update" URL that 2.2.x or earlier can read from currently, but you can feed a full URL to an update file to a console or ssh session using option 13, then option 1, from a 2.2.x or earlier install.

Smooth upgrade on an SG-4860. Only DNSBL did not start automatically. But after manually starting it, it started perfectly. Well done guys!

Just upgraded my Nokia IP390 running pfSense. No issues so far.

excuse this poor ignorant… but from a stable 2.2.6 how do I do to upgrade to 2.3 RC? And when 2.3 goes stable, it will update automatically to that branch or...?

heper

-goto http://snapshots.pfsense.org/
-pick correct architecture & choose "Update Files (For full installs AND for NanoBSD images) to update from 2.2.x and before to 2.3'
-download the file if you want to upgrade by GUI / copy link location if you want to upload by console

console-update

SquidGuard . Is it safe to update to RC or should i wait for stable Release
