Packages locked in v2.3.x?

[JeGr]

Hi,

as far as I remember 2.3.x was told to be supported further down the road for a few reasons, so upgrade to 2.4 is encouraged but not mandatory or essential, or is it?
Just wanted to upgrade two packages on a 2.3.4_p1 installation with error

WARNING: Current pkg repository has a new OS major version.
        pfSense should be upgraded before doing any other
        operation
Failed

So any package update incoming is locked until the unit is updated to 2.4? Have I missed an announcement?

Thanks,
Jens
