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 to hopefully get rid of more custom patches and thorough testing. We've also made progress with nano-style images to improve interoperability between different media types. Images are scheduled to be released shortly after 15.7.10 for said release.
With that in mind, 15.7.9 is a maintenance release which only addresses our code before we make a bigger leap forward. Focus has been to improve firmware upgrades and crash reporter, all OpenVPN and IPSec configuration pages and a fix for recent LibreSSL flavours not wanting to generate certificates.
These are the full patch notes:
Stay safe,
Your OPNsense team
