Upgrade Successes
-
Upgraded to 2.3 from 2.2.6 in minutes without issues. New UI will take some time getting familiar with it. No packages installed to date. PIA works like a charm.
Thanks.

Upgraded from 2.2.6 to 2.3 with no issues. Was a little hesitant to upgrade after seeing some of the issues some were having after upgrading but decided what the hey, go for it.
The new UI is going to take some getting use to. My system is pretty generic with only a couple packages installed so hopefully it will work with no issues.
Good job guys with the upgrade.
Thanks.
Edit: One day after upgrading to 2.3, I'm having network connectivity issues. They are intermittent. Not sure if this is related to 2.3 or not but did not have these issues with 2.2.6.
I am going back to 2.2.6 for now. It was stable. I guess as they always say, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I'm not that software knowledgeable and don't have another hard drive with a working version so I can change back to so that I can post to this forum, so I can't help the folks figure out what might be wrong. I saw other comments of similar issues when 2.3 was first released so I'll wait till someone else figures the problem out.
Thanks.

+3/4 here.
1x APU1C2 (test system)
1x APU1D4 (production FW)
1x VM (test system)all full installs, no nanobsd.
1 system did not make it, but that's outside this topic ;D -
Very smooth upgrade from 2.2.6. I had been testing the RCs and expected to do a complete rebuild like I did when moving from 2.1.x to 2.2.x; turned out to be unnecessary. Great job to all involved in this release.
Packages correctly updated were squid, squidguard, snort, cron, open vmtools. OpenVPN connection transitioned without a hitch.

Hi all.
This post to confirm a 2.2.6 -> 2.3 migration on a pfsense ALIX based appliance.
From a functional pov, all is good :)
However, looking at the system logs indicate that there are a couple of issues behind the scenes :
-
nginx: 2016/04/14 16:28:49 [error] 27749#0: 3377 upstream timed out (60: Operation timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: , server: , request: "GET /widgets/widgets/system_information.widget.php?getupdatestatus=1 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.socket", host: "", referrer: "https://***/"

Might be related to NanoBSD versions but not sure

I upgraded a NetGate box yesterday and had no problems with the actual upgrade process - however for some reason the upgrade to 2.3 added a couple of new packages to the system … my first thought was WTF - sneaking some extra packages in during an upgrade is not good policy so I killed them both.
Now, about the new interface - I guess it looks good on a iPhone? ... I'm trying very hard to be positive here.
I have no plans to ever use an iPhone unless Stevie gets reincarnated.

I have to say that it was exactly my first impression… difficult to view things at a glance, confusing, too big font... But, after 2 days, I have to say that I have now a different opinion. I'm getting used to it and really enjoying it. Dashboard easier to read, more customable... and a modern look. But this is just my opinion.

+1 This. And after switching to the dark theme it made things much easier for me on the eye at least.

I updated my APU from 2.2.6 to 2.3 with no issues! Before doing so I uninstalled bandwidthd and darkstat but left the autoconfigbackup package. After the update completed I reinstalled darkstat and noticed that the autoconfigbackup had upgraded to 1.45. I think it was 1.35 before. There is no longer a package for bandwidthd. My installation is not complex but I do run an ipsec tunnel and it seems to be fine. The UI looks amazing!
Thank you,

Just upgraded three very complex setups. One has four WANs and 20 LANs, for example.
Smashing!
