Same experience here. Running in a VM as a test environment.

Updated to Release and all good. Been rocking 24.7 since beta days. Great release!

Updated the 2nd node of my 2-node HA/CARP cluster from 24.1.10_3 to 24.7r1, then to r2, today to 24.7.  No problems with the upgrade, or CARP/HA.  The 2nd node is normally the standby node however since the updates, I've been forcing it to be the primary.  No problems at all.

Absolutely smooth here too. No issues with LAGG, Vlans, wireguard and openvpn. All working without a hitch. A big WELL DONE ! Not a single issue

Upgraded a test VM from RC2 to 24.7 stable, all working very well. The new dashboard needs a bit to get used to after years of using the old one, but I totally love it.

Well done OPN team!

P.S. vicuna theme looks so slick on the new GUI.

Regards,
S.

Upgraded the main box and is working fine.

Tested almost everything and is functional.

Was able to replicate the old dashboard layout with some minor differences, but it looks very very good.

Clean installation of Opnsense 24.7

When I tried to install using UFS I got errors in several files and it was impossible to install it with that system. I installed it with zfs and everything was fine.

The new interface is very nice but the widgets can not be resized.

The firewall widget is a graph and I liked the previous system better where you could see the ips that were blocked.

I've seen ZFS installer error out on a test install for 24.7 once, but a dozen other installs following this to reproduce for UFS and ZFS were all fine. No idea what happened.


Cheers,
Franco
