Title: OPNsense 15.7.21 released
Post by: franco on December 04, 2015, 05:33:29 pm
Hello everyone,

Back in September we've started out to work on the excessive GUI padding and dispersed menu structure in order to get to a slick and clean page layout. We've transformed tab navigation into submenu items, pulling similar items together into one single category, adding distinctive icons as a highlight and anchor point. We've come to like it so much that we can't wait for 16.1 to merge it in so here it is for everyone to enjoy. Work in this area will continue in tiny pieces as we go along. Send us feedback, let us know what we can push even further.

15.7.21 brings updates to some of the most important ports and RRD frontend pages have been completely removed. Unfortunately, we couldn't squeeze in OpenSSL and LibreSSL at this point, but will follow up as soon as both of them are available. Here are the full patch notes:

o ports: phalcon 2.0.9 [1]
o ports: php 5.6.16 [2]
