OPNsense 24.7-RC2 released

[franco]

Hi there,

For more than 9 and a half years now, OPNsense is driving innovation
through modularising and hardening the open source firewall, with simple
and reliable firmware upgrades, multi-language support, fast adoption
of upstream software updates as well as clear and stable 2-Clause BSD
licensing.

We thank all of you for helping test, shape and contribute to the project!
We know it would not be the same without you.  <3

Download links, an installation guide[1] and the checksums for the images

Migration notes, known issues and limitations:

o The dashboard has been replaced. Widgets from the old format are no longer supported and need to be rewritten by the respective authors.
o ISC DHCP will no longer reload DNS services on static mapping edits. This is for feature parity with Kea DHCP and avoiding cross-service complications. If you expect your static mappings to show up in a DNS service please restart it manually.
