psst… the snaps are already available. :)

I guess I picked a good time to set up a VM on my desktop to give it a try!

Just went out and grabbed the beta snapshot. It applied flawlessly on my system. I did lose BandwidthD and ntopng but the system clearly reported the fact and it was not a big deal for me. Everything else came over over without issue. I even had an OpenVPN client that I had forgotten to disconnect prior to the upgrade. Within a minute or so of the system being up, the client reconnected like nothing had happened. Very cool. In case it matters, this was on a:

Platform pfSense
CPU Type Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D2550 @ 1.86GHz
4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s) x 2 HTT threads

This is a system with dual Broadcom nics.

I had to update through the command line.

the graphical update always returned an error, and in the log it was saying that my /tmp folder is full, even if there is almost nothing in there.

go on console or ssh, then go option 13, and enter this url : http://snapshots.pfsense.com/amd64/pfSense_master/updates/pfSense-Full-Update-2.3-BETA-amd64-latest.tgz

PS It (2.3) looks pretty close to fabulous. However I may have a LWN moment (https://lwn.net was always an odd orangy pink colour before a redesign caused the LHS to go grey, luckily I subscribe and can get it back to the old scheme) and want to reskin the brick red back in …
