      Counting issues is a poor metric for how close we are to a release, especially when the count is this low.

      A little trivia:

      Of the 12 issues remaining open on 2.4.5:

      • 6 are in feedback state in need of testing (And one of those is an issue in a package which is not a blocker)
      • 4 are release-related tasks (write release notes, SAs, blog post, update docs) and are not bugs
      • 2 are actual bugs that remain to be solved

      As with any release, if you want to see it released faster, test the snapshots and report any issues you find.

      Nothing short of confirming things work properly will speed up the release process.

          And then there were only 5 issues left. Are we looking at this week or next? Thanks.

            Still no ETA. There are some issues yet to work out for captive portal and our various hardware platforms. I would hope to at least see an RC sometime next week but don't quote me on that. We don't know how long it will take to iron out the remaining issues for certain.

              While I understand it is very rough, Thanks for the rough idea.

                Captive Portal is OK on the latest snapshot. Time to test. :-)

                  UP and running - first impressions :

                  Probably not important - but I have these now :

                  77da1417-f9cf-45f6-b11d-28d2cb8c0aeb-image.png

                  Logging to the remote syslog server (he lives on LAN at 192.168.1.4 port 514 UDP) works well - pfSense settings are as they are for the last decade :

                  Also :
                  radvd doesn't look happy now :

                  b3bc657a-1152-4732-a2ce-d8d1ed1321a9-image.png

                  Although my IPv6 is up an works as usual (a he.net tunnel setup using a gif interface etc)

                  Also : the patch to have portal users not thrown out of the ipfw tables when captive portal settings are changed is still needed ??!!
                  This one https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/compare/RELENG_2_4_4...Augustin-FL:fix-reconfig-for-2-4-4.diff ( @free : isn't / wasn't it merged already - or only against 2.50. dev ?)

                      in the General > System log.
                      I'm using a syslog UDP port 514 for years now.
                      Logs are received on that 'syslog' server.

                        No. It'll be out when it's ready, not a moment sooner. There is no ETA. And there is no 'usual' time between RC and release.

                        Have patience. It'll come. If you are that impatient, run snapshots and test.

                          I have a idea, how about netgate starts a betting pool, whoever guesses closer to the date wins a sg-1100. It would be great for PR and would bring awareness/new customers to pfsense.
