OPNsense 26.7-BETA images

[franco]

Hi all,

Behind the scenes we were working on providing the first images for the upcoming 26.7 series. We aligned with the FreeBSD 15.1 release schedule and fixed all the installer compatibilities we've found. From early testing FreeBSD 15.1 behaves pretty well. The main difference from current community versions is PHP 8.5, OpenSSL 3.5 and that this image is only containing the development version. Upgrades to future versions are possible.

For now there's no path to upgrade from an existing 26.1.x but manual instructions can be shared once 26.1.11 is released next week. 26.7-RC1 will also add the stable release path.

You can find the usual images here:
