Title: Need clarification before installing 25.7.11
Post by: GeorgiosG on January 25, 2026, 05:18:17 PM
Dear All,

I am currently running v25.7.10 (I use ISC DHCP4, and Unbound DNS) and looking to update to the latest version v25.7.11 (I assume that it will come with the two hotfixes already announced for v25.7.11).

In the update notice the following statement is made:
QuoteThe changes are otherwise clustered around preparation for the major upgrade which brings an number of fundamental changes with the ongoing removal of ISC-DHCP from core. A plugin is already available through the development version and should auto-install. If not make sure you install it before attempting a reboot there. For the stable version everything is as it was.

1. Does that statement have any effect when updating to v25.7.11?
2. If yes, what is the name of the plugin that might (or not) auto-install?

Kind Regards,
GeorgiosG

So as long you do not update to 26.1 you are safe ;)

No.

os-isc-dhcp. It will auto-install on the actual upgrade to 26.1 when it's out.

Quick follow up question, for clarification: When updating to 26.1, does the os-isc-dhcp plugin auto-install also automatically configure from one's 25.x.x ISC settings?

It will always auto-install when doing the upgrade 25.7 -> 26.1, yes.
