pfSense CE 2.8.0 release date

Networking & Firewalls

Anyone know when this is going to be out? Seems like the project is quite stalled. Is this an attempt by netgate to force everyone over to PFPlus?

I know I’ve seen videos since they went to a paid model for PFPlus to go back to community edition.

Sad part is I dont even mind paying for PFPlus but I’m not going to pay over $100 per firewall when I have several of these deployed. Almost seems like they need to have a lower “multi activation token” tier.

Looking at Netgate’s Redmine website they list 2.8.0 still having 31 open issues that need to be addressed. As you mentioned the paid version of pfSense Plus just had the RC released so the production release should be out soon.
Hopefully they will get back to addressing the CE version issues and can get a 2.8.0 RC released. You can see that updates to the list are being made.
