pfSense 1.2.1 released!

The pfSense team has a Christmas present for you all – the 1.2.1 final release. 

The only changes since RC4: 

  • Fixed problem preventing RIP from starting
  • Fixed broken link in VLAN reboot notification
  • Fixed problem with SSL certificate generation

Changes since 1.2 release

This is a strictly a maintenance release, meaning it contains only bug fixes in the pfSense code, no new features. Though we also upgraded the base OS from FreeBSD 6.2 to 7.0, which necessitated numerous changes in how things are configured. The change to FreeBSD 7.0 brings improved performance and more hardware support.  

Change log

cvstrac contains a list of every single change from 1.2 release to 1.2.1 release. For those interested in just the highlights (lot of minor trivial things in the full change list), see the RC2, RC3 and RC4 release blog posts.

Note on Release Signing
The key for signing releases and its backup were inadvertently destroyed. This means you’ll get a warning that the release is unsigned, unless you are updating from a recent 1.2.1 snapshot. You can either just click through that warning, or install the Pubkey package you will find under System -> Packages. If you wish to update the file manually from a secure source, you can overwrite /etc/pubkey.pem with this file.

    Thanks! I just upgraded at my main office on top of 1.2-RC3 from December 24, 2007. Don’t see any issues yet. It automagically re-installed my packages, which was slick. The IPSec tunnels came right back up, etc.

    Now to figure out how to update the data centers on their embedded WRAP boxes :-) I guess we will get driving soon!

    Maintenance release it is, but still a buggy FTP! When is FTP finally gonna be fixed or worked around….too much hacking to make work incoming / outgoing at the same time….yeeesshhh….yes that’s a complaint as like you guys say…you wanna state going to another firewall again?

  32. Chris Buechler Says:

    There are no problems with FTP . There were some fixes for uncommon edge case FTP problems between 1.2 and 1.2.1. Every scenario we’re aware of works fine now, if you configure things correctly.
