      The first update for 2.3 was 2.3_1, which required no reboot. The second update, to 2.3.1, required a reboot.

      Do all updates with a '.' require reboot?

      pfSense 2.4.3-RELEASE (amd64) installed to PC on Samsung 860 EVO mSATA 256 GB SSD with Supermicro X11SBA-LN4F, Intel Pentium N3700, 4 GB RAM, 4 mobo 10/100/1000, 1 PCIe 10/100/1000 x4 NIC (HP NC364T), and APC Smart-UPS SMT1500.

        Yes. Think of it as 2.3.0_1 and 2.3.1. There may be a 2.3.1_1, in which case you may or may not need a reboot. 2.3.2 will.

        Here is a comment by cmb about noting which upgrades will or will not need reboots: https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/4jz1fb/231release_now_available/d3dmniu
