Business OPNsense updates?

[sizzling~snitch]

Posting this under 23.7 Legacy as I do not see a Business Level area of the forums. Do these exist?

My install is up to date running version: 23.10.2

I saw one of the perks of the Business Lic was to get updates and security fixes quicker but how can that be when the Community version is an entire major version newer. i.e. 24.0.1 (is what is installed on my personal firewall)

Community HA Proxy = 4.4
Business HA Proxy = 4.1.1

Which both appear to be built off HAProxy 2.6 LTS, which was released almost two years ago. 2.8 LTS has been available since 2023-05-31.

Perhaps you mix this with pfsense+ which gets updates quicker than CE (to force all move to +) while in OPN community get's more feature update quicker and when stable backported to BE.
Updates related to security come mostly at the same time
As HAProxy in BE is still supported it's good to use.

You'll also see plenty of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in use while 24.4 will come soon :)

Maybe but the versions are different between CE and Business editions with CE being on a newer version. This bit me in the butt setting up HAProxy on CE but then moving down to Biz a few features were missing and the guide I followed from this forum had been updated for CE version so I had to figure a few legacy things out. :D

I see your point, but it's also merely describing how the release engineering work: business is 3 months behind.
