      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.

                                          I just applied patch 0.20 to my systems.

                                          System rebooted afterwards and looking healthy again.
                                          To be clear, the update is valid right? Not a cosmetic bug.
                                          I thought the update was part of the new patch-system.
                                          Thanks for the great work!

                                            There was an update for pfSense-upgrade, not the whole system. That update is good/legitimate.
