      On the system dashboard for my SG units, it is showing "Version 2.3.1_1 is available." However, when I click on the update link, the system update page says 2.3.1 is "Up to date." Is there a 2.3.1_1 update?

                        hitting the upgrade button before reading the official release announcement is bad form.

                        (it's also a bad meme)

                          here you go.
                          read the release note.
                          the update just went smooth from my side

                            Dude, no. Clicking on a link to see information on an upgrade is not bad form.

                            There was no upgrade button to click on, which is what triggered the original question.

                                  There is a bit of a Catch-22 in production releases. The release person needs to put all the release kits (patches, packages…) onto the live release servers and give it a bit of a test from some online systems, to double-check that all the needed release components are found in the right places.
                                  During that time, there is a live release available online, but no release announcement (and maybe no release notes).

                                  A workflow that helps could be:

                                  • Post the release notes
                                  • Post a notification that a release is in the process of being released, and for users not to upgrade just yet
                                  • Put all the live release materials on the various server(s)
                                  • Test some upgrades from the release server(s)
                                  • Change the notification to say that the release is officially available

                                  As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                                    The first update (2.3_1) that pfSense offered didn't require a reboot and didn't mention anything about uninstalling packages first, etc.  Does update 2.3.1_1 require us to uninistall packages first before updating to it?  Or, is that just best practice for a new pfSense release (2.3.1)?

                                        There was a gap of about a half hour or so from the update showing available to all the platforms having all their files in place (most considerably less than that). The reason is the automatic copy from staging to production didn't completely work, so some of it had to be done manually. Since part of it did succeed, the version notification came up, but then it wasn't actually available to install yet. We already know what the issue is, should have it fixed tomorrow so that delay between showing the version available and it actually being available won't happen in the future.

                                            I've installed this update today. I don't think it rebooted (unless it was automatic, I was away while it was upgrading), however the entire OS started behaving REALLY weird. My internet connection just stopped working for no reason, and I couldn't find a reason why. I've reset the system to factory settings, but like 2 hours later I could no access webconfigurator without an SSH tunnel (connection times out)

                                            Maybe it's just me, but I'm really confused as to what's going on.

                                              I still have this problem on one pfSense box as of now. Will not let me update. Second pfSense box updated just fine.  :o

                                                  Reboot makes no difference for me.  I'm also not sure why people are talking as if its the users fault for not reading a release note?
                                                  My simple mind has this weird idea that if my system shows "update available" and I press the button to update, something should happen.  (in a perfect world)

                                                  Not the case here.  I'm not running any packages on this machine other than openvpn and watchdog.  Its a simple box.

                                                  Version 2.3.1-RELEASE (amd64)
                                                  built on Tue May 17 18:46:53 CDT 2016
                                                  FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p3

                                                  Version 2.3.1_1 is available.

                                                  when trying to actually update, you get:

                                                  Current Base System
                                                  2.3.1
                                                  Latest Base System
                                                  2.3.1
                                                  Status
                                                  Up to date.

                                                  Now, to my thinking something isn't quite right in this process.
                                                  Its either not updating as it should, or there is no update actually available or the update message is misleading to us dumb guys.

                                                    It's mentioned in the blog post: https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=2068

                                                    That's the "official" place for release announcements and trickles down from there into the wiki and redmine logs.

                                                      I did mention that I rebooted right?  3x now (just to be sure).  Does it need to be physically unplugged or kicked or something also?

                                                          Not any cache problem I can figure out.  I even tried it on a separate browser I never use for anything (should not have anything pfsense related in cache)

                                                          Could it be because my box is using IPV6 vs. IPV4 or something?

                                                          Its really not the end of the world because I can manually update from a file I download any time I like.  Its just an annoyance thats all.

                                                          EDIT:  Maybe I can't just update from a file the way I used to.  Looks like the option has been eliminated in 2.3?

                                                            Strange. Did a moderator put a thank you in for me?

                                                              Does console option 13 work?

                                                                Didn't even look at console - I did go back and read the notes again for 2.3 and it says that files like that will be kept online for before 2.3 but not after 2.3

                                                                Anyway - Not a big deal for me right now.  So long as 2.3.2 will update properly when its available I won't worry much about the _1s and _2s etc.

                                                                          You keep the console log by chance? Or if you can send me a copy of /conf/upgrade_log.txt that will hopefully show something useful.

                                                                            I tried to update a dozen times after several days and several reboots and immediately before updating from console also - same result…

                                                                            Updated with option 13 at console and it just updated with no fuss.

                                                                            The reason I don't tend to get into the console on this machine much is because its very far away.  Don't want to break it playing.

                                                                            Anyway - Thanks for the tip.  Worked fine.  Hope I don't have to do that every time.
