pfSense upgrading its FreeBSD based and PHP |
|
pfSense is a FreeBSD-based operating system for firewalls and routers. The project is going to be updating some key comonents as the developers prepare for the next major release of pfSense. Jim Thompson posted: "We are moving the version of PHP used by pfSense software to PHP 8.1. We have also taken a decision to move the base operating system version of FreeBSD used by pfSense software from 12-STABLE to the current development 'top of tree' version also known as 'main', or 'HEAD', and, at the time of writing, '14-CURRENT'. In order to minimize potential disruption to the community and customer base, public development snapshots and repository synchronization have been temporarily paused while we work on these major shifts, including internal testing of builds.
Recent releases of pfSense software have been based on PHP 7.4, which is now approaching its EOL date in late November. We are migrating the version of PHP used by pfSense software to PHP 8.1, skipping over the interim 8.0 release. This means we will be on the latest available release of PHP. PHP 8.1 is supported upstream until late 2024." Details on these moves can be found in Thompson's blog post. |
