25.03 Beta has been put in place ?

... wait - your image, it just changed .....

edit : ok, you've added more other images.

If you select 25.03 then this :

will show up as a potential upgrade.

My advise : don't upgrade yet, "Like Mickey go first" ^^

edit : also : afaik : Here, very soon now, a 25.03 Beta release bulletin will be posted.

@Gertjan I noticed i had netgate id and SN in the dashboard image. didn't want that posted. so replaced that image.

I am configured for stable branch. not the beta branch, but dashboard shows an update available. But there is not an update available on the Stable Branch.

saw that ^^

Normally, when 24.11 is selected as a "source" :

I presume what you see on the dashboard, the "25.03.b avaible" will go away after x time.
You probably were syncing for upgrades on the right wrong moment ^^

@Gertjan You are exactly right. had to be a timing issue!

now it shows this:

I got the email notification about package updates and I noticed it was this beta release, which I will not be upgrading to. I'm also on the stable branch so my system must have ran into the same thing yours did. By the time I actually checked my dashboard, it wasn't showing that beta version like yours.

@Raffi_ Same here, but me being me, I tried installing anyway. Because I'll install anything! Noticed the 25.x ref later on.

Yeah you shouldn't see beta versions shown as an available update on the dashboard unless the beta branch is already selected. It's possible it was if you were previously running a beta version.

But, yes, 25.03 beta is now available for testing for those who can. You should have to manually select the new branch to see it.

mikek

@stephenw10 Never run any beta version. I suspect that something in the adding of the new beta trigger it to see an update for at least a 2 hour timeframe.
