      Since it didn't happen on any of my test boxes, could you go to console and run following command, then send me the output?

      pfSense-upgrade -c -d

      This is harmless and will only say if there is a new version available.

            Seeing on both Netgate boxes and my own boxes with "CE"..  2.3.3R only. No issues with my 2.4B boxes.

              Found this notice when I signed into my pfsense firewall.  I'm currently on the latest release, however it's saying the "official release" is 0.18_1.  See attachments.

                      I've pushed a fix, it's on pfSense-upgrade 0.19.

                      pfSense-upgrade was considering its new version as a new firmware version. The issue is harmless and if you finish the upgrade nothing bad will happen.

                      Fix is on version 0.19. As soon as it's available it's safe to manually run 'pkg upgrade pfSense-upgrade' on console to go to latest verssion.

                      This issue is being tracked at https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7343

                      Sorry for the inconvenience

                                      I upgraded without issues to 2.3.3 last week, suddenly, yesterday, I started to see "The system is on a later version than
                                      the official release." in the GUI.

                                      I did not change or do anything since the upgrade so this is certainly coming from somewhere else.

                                      Thanks.

                                        Same for me.  This is what I see on the update page.  0.19??

                                          Not sure if we now have an official solution to this, but, do we know why this happened?
                                          (Just when I thought upgrade issues had been ironed-out…).

                                          Thanks.
