Comments on: What’s new in FreeBSD 7.0 http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=173 News, reviews and more related to the pfSense firewall project Sun, 19 May 2013 21:07:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Chris Buechler http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=173&cpage=1#comment-827 Chris Buechler Sat, 08 Mar 2008 19:49:31 +0000 http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=173#comment-827 We’re starting with RELENG_7_0 (which is 7.0 + any security patches that might come out in the future), we won’t put out releases on -STABLE branches (i.e. no RELENG_7).

We’re also moving to PHP 5, and working on fixing the many things the switch from PHP 4 to 5 broke. PHP 4 isn’t going to receive security fixes that might be necessary for much longer.

Still we should be testing a working pfSense 1.3/FreeBSD 7.0/PHP 5 setup in the next few days.

I’d loved to be able to run pfsense in xen…

RELENG_7_0 is 7.0 + security patches
RELENG_7_0_0 is 7.0 without patches
RELENG_7 is 7-stable

However 7.0 is the first in line of a “new technology” branch, as 5.0 was and as 9.0 will be. So you should base 1.3 on 7-STABLE or 7.1

I’m all for conservatism and stability, but it seems that FreeBSD 7 brings too much to the table to hang back on 6.3. Thanks for keeping an open mind guys.

That’s such excellent news. Major kudos, as always.

Also it states that 6.x will be Legacy releases.

LATEST RELEASES

* Production Release 7.0
* Production (Legacy) Release 6.3

Just keep pfsense stable as it is now and i dont care if its running 6.x or 7.x
I run 7.0 on my mailscanner, web and mailserver machines from the Beta’s and it never let me down.
