2.8.0-BETA snapshots are now available
-
I am a bit stubborn, so I made a snapshot (Proxmox VM) and did the upgrade with the following packages installed: acme,cron,haproxy,iperf,notes,openvpn-client-export-pfblockerng,service_watchdog,shellcmd,system_pathces
Also no pre rebootAfter the upgrade everything seems to work perfectly fine,no issues so far (I will inform here if I encounter issues)
Thank you very much for all the work making this new CE release

I did a fresh install of CE 2.8 Beta on a bare metal mini-PC with an Intel N5105 via the NetGate Installer and all seem to work OK.
I wanted to transition to KEA DCHP and that also seems to work well as the static IP reservations are working as best as I can tell.
I have 2 Unifi USW Flex Mini switches that I test a few VLANs on and I had to find a way to get the DCHP-Option 43 working in KEA DCHP as that is the only way for these basic managed switches (no SSH) to find the Unifi Controller on another sub-net. Many thanks to @Gertjan for the help and my solution is described in NetGate forum link.
I also installed TailScale and pfBlockerNG and they also seem to work fine, at least on this small home-lab test mini-PC.
Overall, I am very pleased with the CE 2.8 Beta and I am looking forward to upgrading my main home pfSense system once CE 2.8 gets out of Beta.
Thanks to all the developers for all their hard work on pfSense.

You guys at Netgate do like flying close to the sun what with the mini-fits caused by last year's April Fools

I had an issue with a static arp entry, but it was a wrong configuration on my side (an old wrong static arp entry/Mac address) The IP adres with this static ARP entry was in use by another host (with another MAC address) an that was an issue. I did not experience this in 2.7.2 So in fact 2.8.0 is behaving correctly
