2.3.3 is live!

securityconscious

Everything appears to have gone ok.

I had to switch to development branch once and then back to stable until I was offered the update to final 2.3.3 over the 2.3.3-RC I previously had. There were some error messages (the update page outright showed "Upgrade failed" after starting the update), the update progress indicators and the output didn't quite match what was actually done, the system rebooted before the output indicated a succesful install of the required packages. The update worked fine though after the reboot.

Am I the only one who is still showing 2.3.2 on the system info, but 2.3.3 in the update tab? I am not sure if this is a big deal.

Try what Phil said above-

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.

Ive got one box that seems to want to stick to 2.3.2 as well.. Fought with it several times yesterday. Its nano and really slow.. Im trying this now. Ill update if this works for this one. All my others upgraded without a hitch.

I got the 2.3.3 Upgrade notification and after confirming, it seemed to go through the gyrations to do so but after my dual-Atom pfsense box automatically rebooted (and subsequent manual reboots by me), the version shows to be 2.3.2 RELEASE-P1 and "Unable to check for updates". Will keep trying but unsure how to proceed.

As far as I can tell the system has been updated but the dashboard is still reporting 2.3.2 as my picture shows.

Do

and check what's there.

Nah- Im seeing the same thing on my only "nano" box..


Duplicate slice required!!

Before starting the upgrade process, the currently mounted nanobsd partition
needs to be cloned to the secondary partition, where the update will happen

After installation a reboot will be required to switch partition.

Thanks for the help. Here is the output from the command:

So my upgrade didn't complete, if this info is correct.

Same here : all ok;

(but : I'm using the dyndns RFC 2136 - and something went wrong, what can be seen when you use the GUI 'DynDNS' widget. I found out what is was : the usage of the separators "|" and ":" are mixed up (/etc/inc/services.inc I guess) when assembling the IP cache files - so the 'explode' will fail later on. I'll post some more details later on.)

Successfully upgraded four stand-alone pfSense firewalls, three virtual, one physical, without incident.

Then, I successfully upgraded five pairs of redundant pfSense firewalls, handling production workloads, in the middle of the day, without incident.

The last three upgrades I have performed on our redundant Cisco firewalls were not as smooth. Great work guys, truly great work, thank you.

No go 2.3.2_1 -> 2.3.3 from GUI, the current version remains, going to try console tomorrow.

Did the same to get the WebGUI to offer 2.3.3-RELEASE (i386), I updated with the WebGUI, it rebooted, updated and then I got a double fault crash after starting the package.

I had a similar double fault crash last week after switching from Development to Stable in order to get 2.3.3-RC, but I didn't update before the system crashed while saving an alias and applying change.

Tried Phil's option and still not working. Last night I was prompted to update via the GUI so I did and it said it completed successfully. My dashboard is still reporting 2.3.2, however when I go to the update page it reports 2.3.3 as my pics from my previous post shows. Should I try to update to the 2.3.4 development build? If I do can I go back to the stable channel?

Update is flawless. But it seems that the new d3.js traffic graph is flawed. It's reporting that I have a Terrabyte traffic!

Same here with a NanoBSD, can't upgrade, i did 3 times : upgrade / reboot / switch splice and finally it's worked…
