Hi everyone, What’s up! We are about to release new images to put a stake in the ground following roughly 500 commits since 15.7 was released in early July. FreeBSD 10.2 is around the corner, which makes this all the more important. First tests look promising, but it’ll have to wait a few more weeks […]

Ladies and Gentlemen, we hope you are all enjoying the summer, or winter depending on where you live. We sure do. In the past three weeks 4 releases of the 15.7 production series were made available with both security updates and bug fixes. Because of holiday the blog was not updated with the release announcements […]

Hello friends, another week it is, this time with a rather exciting TCP state fix in the FreeBSD kernel. We’ve also taken the time to work through most of the code base to eradicate code warnings and now enable them by default in the crash reporter. We’re half-expecting another stable update early next week just […]

Hello there, this is a quick 15.7.3 to address the recently released PHP 5.6.11 as well as small fixes and further firmware experience improvements. We’ve also taken the time to refine our version 16.1 road map items for you to review and discuss: https://opnsense.org/about/road-map/ The full list of changes are as follows: php56 5.6.11 [1], […]

Good day, it’s us. Again. Following the recent OpenSSL announcement of CVE-2015-1793 we are pushing out 15.7.2 earlier than expected. It is notable that FreeBSD 10.1 as well as LibreSSL are not affected. However, if you are running OPNsense with OpenSSL you should upgrade immediately. Services are not restarted automatically, so a reboot is advised […]

Hello everyone, we hope you guys are doing well. We are certainly happy with our first production release out in the open. 🙂 Now that that’s taken care of, we have the opportunity to introduce stable braches for 15.7.x, with this week’s 15.7.1 as the first of many. Squid and Bind have CVE-related fixes. Otherwise, […]

A good evening to you all, while the summer is hot, we push forward to what now is 15.7 — nicknamed ‘Brave Badger’ — right in front of you. A lot of effort went into this project during the past 6 months, and we dare say it has been worth all of it. We would […]

G’day everyone, it’s sad but true: 15.1.12 may very well be the last of its kind. 6 months are almost over and 15.7 is around the corner with a number of changes e.g. how we do version numbers, release engineering branches and upcoming versions such as 16.1. As nothing is set in stone, we ask […]

Hi there, coincidentally, we scheduled 15.1.11.4 for today and have found ourselves in the middle of an OpenSSL/LibreSSL update. FreeBSD has been really quick and provided ports updates for both of them. OpenSSL base updates, however, won’t be shipped today. That isn’t so bad, because we build all ports against the newer version by default. […]

Hi everyone, a tiny batch of fixes comes bundled with today’s 15.1.11.3 mainly to increase stability during WiFi USB attach/detach. It is a work in progress so please let us know how your experience changes. Here are the full patch notes: config: improved the deletion of backups wifi: do not launch FreeBSD’s rc scripts on […]
