I am currently running 18.7.10 and now see vulnerabilities being reported. To upgrade I have to unlock the next release. I am wanting to remain on stable releases and avoid development releases or release candidates. Initially, when 19.1 was the only choice I thought it was a release candidate and and that the unlock would be removed when it became stable, however it looks like I mis-understood as there are now multiple releases queued up (19.1, 19.1.1, 19.1.2, 19.1.3) and the forums label it as production.
Looking at https://opnsense.org/about/road-map/, I see:
- NEXT RELEASE 19.1 - Januari 2019
- LATEST RELEASE 18.7 - July 31, 2018
So I feel 18.7 is latest prod.
From the "book link" by 19.1.3 on the UI, I read "recommend running 18.7 until this is taken care of" so again I think 18.7 is current prod.
The forum however labels 18.7 as legacy and 19.1 as production.
So, will the unlock go away when 19.1+ is as stable as it will get or will it always require a conscious click?
Since 18.7 is EOL, I guess vulnerabilities will never get fixed, so is the 19.1 path going to lead to better security with a little upgrade risk?

the unlock will go away when you click "unlock now". 19.1 is current stable and 18.7 unmaintained.

Great, thanks for clarifying!
