pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p1 is now available!

Rico

I performed the 2.4.4-RELEASE-p1 Update remotely today for my three SG-3100 in production, everything worked very smooth.
Two devices coming from 2.4.4 and one from 2.4.3-p1
Going for my two XG-7100 right after XMAS....way too much traffic on there 24/7 atm.
Thanks to the whole Netgate Team!

ran a online update and all seems good.

I came from 2.4.2

Nice to dhcp6 status screen fixed
Nice to see I no longer need my custom patch for ntp status screen as base pfsense now allows it to wotih global noquery set.
Nice to see my patch no longer needed for queue status screen refresh as base pfsense implemented custom refresh interval.

Cpu utilisation is notably down I assume from the faster php 7.2.

Also nice that unbound got updated, I was going to put a request in for it but was done anyway.

The "2.4.4-RELEASE-p2" thread is locked so I had to ask here: 2.4.4-p2 is still not available at https://www.pfsense.org/download/. I find this very unusual. When will 2.4.4-p2 be available for fresh install? Is there any issue with the fresh install? I upgraded without any issues on multiple machines. Thanks!

This isn't the place to ask that, but I'll answer anyhow. We do not typically make CE installers for patch releases. -p1 was special because it had fixes for the installer that were needed for a large number of people.

There won't be published -p2 installers, install -p1 and upgrade.

one off installs for patches, p1, p2, p3, etc. etc. have never normal with pfsense. The release image, and then it updates to patches have been the normal since I can remember..

That they released a p1 image would yeah mean something to do with the install part that was fixed. Thanks Jim for the info.

Thank you very much for clearing that out for me. Somehow I was under the wrong impression. You can clean-up my posts if you like.

The pfSense 2.4.4-p2 has been on my dashboard for some days then now it's disappeared:

2.4.4-RELEASE-p1 (arm)
built on Thu Nov 29 14:06:34 EST 2018
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p4

The system is on the latest version.
Version information updated at Tue Jan 22 15:03:08 CET 2019

Why?

johnpoz

Could be all kinds of reasons.. If they would of pulled p2 then there would of been announcement.

I am currently having some issues getting to pfsense.org download sites.. So maybe network problem somewhere, or server issue. example https://snapshots.pfsense.org/ I currently having a problem accessing.

Well now I can get there - so maybe on my end, or maybe they cleared it up...

For all of you who missed the intel: They had a maintenance window at the NY datacenter from 2am to 5am this morning, so firmware/OS and package updates on that mirror were unavailable. Somehow they weren't available at all - I don't know why the other mirrors didn't kick in - but 99% sure that was the reason your dashboard wouldn't show the new version as the pkg update wasn't working at that time. @Summer try to re-check now, it should light ab right away. :)
