Good day everyone,

It took a while to track down a NTP regression with FreeBSD that turned out to be a flaw in the kernel itself. That's now fixed for all FreeBSD versions. Thanks everyone for helping out here again. :)

This update brings quite a few fixes, especially with regard to VMware and Xen virtualisation plugins. If you are in need of such plugins for seamless guest support the installation is quite painless:

pkg install os-vmware
pkg install os-xen

In case of VMware, the masterplan is that vmx network devices will be persistent after reboot so that such devices can be embedded into the config.xml. Let us know how that works for you guys. Needless to say, we'll keep working on making plugins accessible through the GUI with our next major version that is 16.1.

We've also been working on ironing out further IPsec hiccups and adding more features to the captive portal in the development version. Oh, and this: fresh images based on 15.7.18 will be available a couple of days after this release.

Here are the full patch notes:
