      I just updated my 6100 from RC 26.03.r.20260317.0210 to 26.03-RELEASE. Everything went pretty smooth. The only exception is my update tab- it's stuck on the RC branch. See screenshots below. There are no other options available under update settings. I can't switch to Development or Stable. I've tried running the repo reset command below, but that didn't work. Any tips?

      pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg; pkg-static install -xfy pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

      The "RC Version" is the only branch available in the "Update Settings" tab

                @stephenw10 I was going to say I don't see 26.03 available yet..

                I did about 10am PDT this morning.. And even though dashboard shows 26.03 Release I too have RC on my update page still.

                But I am sure things will work themselves out.. ;)
