Upgrade to RC1 successful

[Maurice]

Just a quick report that I upgraded from the 25.7.11 development version to 26.1.r1, so far without issues.

Switching back to Community doesn't replace the automatically installed os-isc-dhcp-devel plugin with the non-devel version, but I think that's expected. It's an additional manual step which might be worth mentioning in the upgrade instructions.

I keep hostwatch disabled for the time being, so no statement about that.

Cheers

Same for me, I did pgrades two OPNsense installation.

One from an installation which was on the Development channel, by switching as France explained, no issue.

The other was on the Dev channel too (not that it matters), exported config (to be sure) and reinstalled using the DVD ISO. The config was found on the ZFS pool and installation when smooth, and with the config found on the ZFS pool.
The only confusing thing was that after the installation and before the reboot the text on the console told me that the OPNsense GUI will be reachable on 192.168.1.1. That specific installation is IPv6 only, so I wasn't sure if the config was applied correctly - but it was.

Ah, oui, naturellement.  ;)

I added a note about the plugin situation in the forum announcement post.

The "https://192.168.1.1" is a bit of a hardcoded relic.

From an imported config where "lan" may not exist it can be difficult to extract the correct value from. Let's call it an artefact for now.
