        Been looking forward to this. But one question regarding System > Update settings:

        0_1537213508214_Screen Shot 2018-09-17 at 22.43.48.jpg

        So I want to get this 2.4.4 release candidate, and then the final 2.4.4 release. But I don't want it to then kick over into 2.4.5 betas, but stay at 2.4.4.... how do I ensure that?

        Thanks.

          It looks like your pfSense didn't update the branch list. Refresh that page and it should show the correct branch.

              Yes, select "Next Release Candidate". Once 2.4.4-RELEASE is out, you will need to select "latest stable version" to upgrade to stable from RC.

                  I had a crash report after installation.Initially I thought it was just due to needing to update all the packages, but even after doing that and a reboot it persisted. My error was lots of entries like:

                  PHP Warning:  filesize(): stat failed for /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_11150_igb1/rules/suricata.rules in /usr/local/pkg/suricata/suricata_generate_yaml.php on line 853
                  PHP Warning:  filesize(): stat failed for /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_11150_igb1/rules/flowbit-required.rules in /usr/local/pkg/suricata/suricata_generate_yaml.php on line 855
                  PHP Warning:  filesize(): stat failed for /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_11150_igb1/rules/custom.rules in /usr/local/pkg/suricata/suricata_generate_yaml.php on line 857
                  

                  Reinstalling the suricata package (but keeping settings) fixed my crash problem.

                  I do still have a problem whereby c-icap will not start, am wondering if it's related to this but haven't had time to investigate more.

                    Upgrade from 2.4.3p1 to 2.4.4RC went without any noticeable problems. Installed packages:

                    apcupsd
                    Avahi
                    bandwidthd
                    Cron
                    mailreport
                    nmap
                    nut
                    pfBlockerNG-devel
                    RRD_Summary
                    Shellcmd
                    Status_Traffic_Totals
                    System_Patches
                    Telegraf

                    All upgraded without problems.

                    The PHP errors during the package updates (after the first reboot) looked a bit alarming, but I guess they are to be expected when upgrading to a new major PHP version. Though it might be a good idea to put a disclaimer about them into the announcements. Good work so far.

                      Upgraded to the RC and noticed no issues. We'll let it run and see.

                          Normally, I never install a new, fresh version right away, and even less a Release Candidate.
                          But this very one time, I could stand it anymore, so I installed the RC on a production machine ...

                          Just beautiful, the RC update. Didn't saw any error messages, everything looks clean to me : https://pastebin.com/KRCB3XGY

                          /cf/conf/https://pastebin.com/TpxsnWnh : some PHP errors.

                          edit : something went wrong, very wrong :

                            Maybe he used some unknown words that is not in the dictionary? 🤣 😀

                            Anyway, I don't really know. Let's hope is nothing bad.

                              He hasn't been online in 4 days, and his avatar has that alarming BANNED tag.

                                  @delitrium But he is still gone? If so, that's too bad as he was one of the two regular Netgate faces in here along with jimp, and he was quite helpful.

                                            @KOM yeah ivor being gone is SAD news for sure... I would not provide his contact info, but if anyone would like me to hand off your contact info to him. I am in touch with him via personal email. Just PM me your info and will pass it on to him.

                                            I can say I will miss him around here for sure.
