2.0 RC3
-
Not official but I dont believe RC2 was ever officially released either.

rc2 to rc3 was short interval
staying on rc2 I think until RELEASE!
-
RC3 "official" is building now, if it checks out it will be signed and put on the mirrors.
The commit you saw was not any kind of official switch, it was something being worked on at the time. The real commits happened today.
photonman - that wouldn't be advisable. Keep moving forward, it's only getting better.

I dont have very demanding networks but both my atom box and ALIX are humming along nicely, great work guys.

better how?
I went ahead and switched over to a 32-bit pfsense box with RC3
that is the cool thing about vm's, I can provision new builds so easily…

Better as in less bugs, more stable, etc.

…when you say signed: I'm on RC2 (came from 1.2.3 Release via RC1 (manual update from snapshot) from there semiautomatically to RC2) and tried to update yesterday. I still have to "allow unsigned" to update - am I missing public keys and if yes, where do I get and where do I put them?
-
No, the official signed images are put on the mirrors, not the snapshot server. The auto update url for the snapshot server will never pick up a signed update image since those are always just snapshots, and they aren't signed.

Understood - and is there a simple way to point auto update to the correct URL or do I have to reflash manually? I have seen the Auto Update Settings GUI and I can enter a URL there. So I guess that's the field I need to fill. But what's the "official" URL then?
-
On the firmware update settings there is a drop-down with update URLs. The official update url is there.
That is still on 1.2.3 now, once 2.0 is released that will be 2.0. That is only for official -RELEASE versions.
There isn't an update URL that just tracks official RCs.

Right - also just had a look atthe mirror I normally use (http://www.fleximus.org/mirror/pfsense/updates) and it still offers 1.2.3 and now having read your post I understand why.
What I don't understand is how to get the signed RC3 now, would just feel more comfortable as opposed to the unsigned snapshot's I'm now using. On the other hand I'd like to do it via auto update cause that's always worked well for me and I'm too lazy to do a clean install just to get away from unsigned snapshots… -
The official RC3 hasn't been uploaded that I see.
There is zero different between the signed RC3 and the snapshot from Sunday night (Unless cmb decided to use a more recent snapshot for it).
You don't have to do a clean install, just download the RC3 firmware update once it's posted.

Download the firmware upgrade file from one of the mirrors and then use System > Firmware to upload it and apply.

Don't forget to tell it to not worry about signatures, as the snaps don't have any. Go to System: Firmware: Settings, and turn on unsigned images.

The RC3 image on the mirrors is signed, so no need for that.
You only need to check that if you're updating from the snapshots server.
