SG-2100 w/ SSD: safe to jump from 23.09.1 to 24.03_1?
-
Hi folks,
I have an SG-2100 with 120GB SSD running great with pfSense 23.09.1.
The GUI notifies me that version 24.03_1 is available. Can I safely jump directly to this version 24.03_1 thus skipping 24.03?Especially since the _1 is described here as a very minor update:
“Devices running pfSense Plus software version 24.03 may be seeing a "24.03_1" update available which is a very minor revision made to address a missing dependency on 64-bit ARM devices (https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15433). The revision is kept the same on all platforms for consistency.”

@Cabledude Yes, 24.03_1 is a very stable release with very few issues. I have had no problems updating the myriads of 2100 and 6100’s I have in management.

@Cabledude in general you can install the offered updates. pfSense will not offer the latest if an intermediate version is required.
If you’re skipping say a few years’ worth, Netgate will tell you to just reinstall and restore.
