Title: Any dates as to when 26.1 drops?
Post by: gspannu on January 13, 2026, 05:45:29 PM
Hi OPNsense developers,

Any prospective dates as to when 26.1 gets released?

I am just looking to rebuild my OPNsense bare metal (have just got a new Protectli device) and I plan to install everything from scratch, so might as well do it with 26.1

Thanks.

You've got a brand new Protectli and you are going to wait for 26.1? You are way more patient than I would be with a new toy. :)

Ha, ha..

That's because I already have a Protectli, this is my 2nd vault - I am planning to repurpose the 1st one as a Proxmox device and run multiple VMs on it. The new Protectli will just server as a bare metal OPNsense.

Well that's the due date for the deliverables, not necessarily the drop date for the installer.  But I wouldn't expect anything until at least all the items are closed.

Worst-case scenario January 29th. But next week has high chances.
