Next Release
-
So the official answer is and will be: when it's ready.
If only we could use that excuse at workplace when the boss asks us when to expect the work to be finished. :)

We're primarily focused on 2.4 at the moment, with some effort going into 2.3.3 as needed to keep things polished up. The real driving factors for point releases are new hardware product requirements, severe bugs, security vulnerabilities, or when we reach a point where we feel like it's necessary.
The release of 2.4 will trail the FreeBSD 11 release but not by far, otherwise we don't have any estimates that I'm aware of for other versions. Support for 2.3.x will be continuing after 2.4 since 2.4 is dropping i386, so i386 boxes can stay on 2.3.x for a while until they're eventually phased out.

If you provided your work to your boss for free I guess you could. :)
When you stop pretending to pay me, I'll stop pretending to work.

Understood, thanks.

The apu4 is 64bit and will be ok for 2.4?
-
If it runs a 64-bit (amd64) image now, it will be OK.

Now I'm running on an apu2 pfsense 2.3.2 nanoBSD, can I upgrade to 2.4 without problems ?
thanks

Unknown. We are not sure if it will be possible to automatically transform a NanoBSD install to a full install in a desirable way.
Worst case, you'll need to reinstall.

Assuming next pfSense release is around the corner. https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/announce.html YAY!
