      Betas are/were based upon the latest "stable" as (imho) it isn't a full update/upgrade, but only the "current working set + the stuff that actually changed"

      This can't be a beta. Beta is the full update, that the developers are confident enough to release for testing (either internal or public)

      When things stabilize we get Release candidates., and one of them becomes release.

      What you are referring is alpha code.

        How can a beta not be a beta ?

          @Gertjan I'm referring to your definition of beta.
          25.03 is definitely a beta :)

            You are discussing symentics

            It does not matter what you call it beta or alpha

            It's definitely beta IMHO as long as it's released to the public for testing.

            My point is that we don't test the 24.03 => 25.03 upgrade path.

            And this is important to me as 24.11 presented issues to my environment.

              @mwatch

              I am puzzled as to why you don't allow a 24.03 => 25.03 upgrade path for this beta?!

              This has always been the case with pfsense upgrades.
              They had to happen in sequence.

              Now if you want to go straight to 25.03, take a configuration backup file, install 25.03 beta and restore.

              Works most of the times.

              (but it is still a beta, so not recommended for production, (as always))

                  @Gertjan installed and works fine, as is 2.8 beta released at the same time.
                  Didn't see any release notes though.
                  Any ideas what is "fixed" ?

                    No, but your pfSense knows ^^ Mine send me this notification :

                    13:15:04 An update to pfSense version 25.03.b.20250427.2348 is available
                    
                    The following updates are available and can be installed using System > Package Manager:
                    
                    Nexus: 25.03.b.20250414.1838 ==> 25.03.b.20250427.2348
                    pfBlockerNG-devel: 3.2.6 ==> 3.2.7
                    
                    Some packages are part of the base system and will not show up in Package Manager. If any such updates are listed below, run `pkg upgrade` from the shell to install them:
                    
                    if_pppoe-kmod: 25.03.b.20250414.1838.1500029 -> 25.03.b.20250427.2348.1500029 [pfSense]
                    pfSense: 25.03.b.20250414.1838.1500029 -> 25.03.b.20250427.2348.1500029 [pfSense]
                    pfSense-base: 25.03.b.20250414.1838 -> 25.03.b.20250427.2348 [pfSense-core]
                    pfSense-boot: 25.03.b.20250414.1838 -> 25.03.b.20250427.2348 [pfSense-core]
                    pfSense-default-config-serial: 25.03.b.20250414.1838 -> 25.03.b.20250427.2348 [pfSense]
                    pfSense-kernel-pfSense: 25.03.b.20250414.1838 -> 25.03.b.20250427.2348 [pfSense-core]
                    pfSense-pkg-Nexus: 25.03.b.20250414.1838 -> 25.03.b.20250427.2348 [pfSense]
                    pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel: 3.2.6 -> 3.2.7 [pfSense]
                    pfSense-repo: 25.03.b.20250414.1838 -> 25.03.b.20250427.2348 [pfSense]
                    pfSense-repoc: 20250222 -> 20250419 [pfSense]
                    

                    which is basically 'everything' = kernel, base files, and an updated pppoe kernel mod, and a pfSense package or two.

                    Imho, and I'm just a user like you, these were the last changes. According to redmine, a lot of small GUI and code changes 'everywhere'.
