2.3.3 is live!

BIGGRIMTIM

Just did the upgrade and everything seems to be working, but the dashboard is still reporting:

2.3.2-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Tue Sep 27 12:13:07 CDT 2016
FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p16

Not sure if this is correct as I am pretty new to pfsense.

Did you reboot?

If you were on RC before you might want to wait.

I got it to work but it took some extra steps.

Any issues going from 2.3.2_p1 to 2.3.3?

Like to pull the trigger, but would like to see release notes and any caveats first.

All my 2.3.2 boxes upgraded with no issues whatsoever.. Since I had a couple others running on 2.3.3RC before this Im pretty optimistic that everything is good.

Done the upgrade to 2.3.3-RELEASE. No issues. Many thanks to the pfsense team for a wonderful product.

Upgraded my main and backup 2.3.2p1 to 2.3.3 without issues.
I did see some warnings during the upgrade. Mostly about a couple of config files not being used anymore, but would like to see the full log
to make sure all my config went through. I am sure that log file is somewhere, but I took a video of the upgrade, so I'll go over it later.

I do like the new upgrade process. Kudos to the pfSense Team + Testers!

Another hand up for a smooth upgrade if anyone is still on the fence about pulling the trigger.

I did reboot twice just to make sure. When I check for updates it reports that I am up to date.

Upgrade took about 40 minutes to extract everything and bootup.
Python and perl each took a really long time.

Couple questions re: console messages during upgrade.

Manually remove if no longer needed: /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem
Is this file still needed by pfSense? Don't think I have any need for it if pfSense doesn't.

What's are these makewhatis not found messages about?
[4/92] Extracting perl5…
makewhatis: not found

openvpn-2.3.11: missing file /usr/local/man/man8/openvpn.8.gz
and a whole bunch of others for one of the lib* some things.
Would be nice if those could be suppressed if they are expected and not a problem. Believe they are just manual files that are being exclude in pfSense builds.

Just successfully upgraded. I like the new traffic graph.

I am on 2.3.3-RC as well and console update doesn't find anything to update.
Seems I have to wait as well?
I'd like to go to stable now (instead of development), is that possible now without a reinstall?

On my 2.3.3-RC that was on "Stable" (because that is what was done when 2.3.3-DEVELOPMENT became 2.3.3-RC - to avoid ending up on 2.3.4-DEVELOPMENT), I:

switched to development on GUI Update Settings
used console option 13 to make it look for the development package database, and when it asked to upgrade I said N
switched back to stable on GUI update settings
used console option 13 again, and it found the "right" stable stuff, said "y" to upgrade

I am not sure if that sequence should really be needed, but for me it got the system recognize the "new stable" and upgrade to it.

worked for me as well, thank you!

Yeah I'm pretty sure the pkg thing urgently needs a brain transplant.
