23.05.1 New Features and Changes

This is a maintenance software release including bug fixes for issues in pfSense® Plus software version 23.05.

General

This release follows shortly after pfSense Plus software version 23.05. See the 23.05 Release Notes for details on changes in that release.

Danger

This version includes newer ZFS features which may not be compatible with older boot loaders. These features are not enabled by default when upgrading to avoid potential problems with older boot loaders. Some ZFS commands run at the CLI, such as zpool status, may report that a pool can be upgraded, but doing so may also require manually updating the boot loader for the device to boot properly. Upgrading the ZFS pool is not necessary at this time. As such, the best practice is to leave it as-is. This will be handled automatically as needed in future updates.

Reinstalling the OS from current installation media will result in having the most recent boot loader and ZFS feature set.
