Just saw this update without announcement here. Is it legitimate? How to check the validity of plugin updates?
Hello, yes the update is legitimate. Its a small hotfix that fixes this issue:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=51905.0
Thank you very much for answering at this time of day!
The changelog for the plugin is always available from the firmware GUI plugins tab (and it does show the latest changelog before the update is carried out). Typically, minor plugin changes are not pushed to the normal (core-bound) changelogs.
We have some ideas to structure release versioning better in the future. The traditional model of releases isn't working so well anymore with weekly security issues and some reliability fixes especially on the business version.
Cheers,
Franco
