Read the release notes for the last 5 releases since the version pfSense CE currently has (7.5.1). There are plenty of bug fixes and stability improvements there, which I'm sure users of pfSense would appreciate.

I myself am suffering an annoying issue on pfSense where connected routes redistributed into OSPF flush when a backup link re-establishes. - and they shouldn't flush because the routes are learned via the primary link which stays stable the whole time. I don't know if this is a FRR issue, or some pfSense implementation issue. Having the latest FRR would at least help narrow down the cause.

For pfSense+ 23.09, "FRR 9.0.1 is added and working". I can see it in the package list data but am yet to upgrade.

For CE, it looks like they are targeting 2.7.1.

This is great news - thank you Netgate.
