      With regard to net-snmp as per this commit message it was fixed to build with the base openssl version.

      It still fails with DTLS enabled, even with the current port. If that fixed it, it broke again in some other way.

        Thanks guys that now pfsense 2.5.0 will not required AES-NI processor. It was driving some us away from pfsense but now is not require, pfsense is the best... I love you guys for listening to us.

        I am still willing to bet that it will eventually require AES-NI.

          Eventually, yes, once we engineer and write the RESTCONF API. That isn't going to be in 2.5.0, however.

            In System Update, should I leave it set to 2.4 snapshots or should I change it to 2.4 stable.

              Depends on what you want. If you don't want to be offered the 2.5.0 upgrade yet, set it to stable. If you want to pick up 2.5.0 snapshots when they are ready, then leave it set to snapshots.

                  Out of sheer curiosity, do you guys have any idea of when the 2.5 images will be out for testing?

                    No ETA but it's getting closer. We have it upgrading and booting OK, but still a few more kinks to work out in our internal testing and then it should be ready for wider alpha testing.

                        Almost certainly sooner than that, but we don't like to overpromise. They're getting closer.
