Understanding pfSense Plus and CE software version numbers¶
pfSense Plus and CE software utilize different version number formats. This makes it easier to distinguish between them and also makes it clear that the releases do not necessarily happen at the same time, even if they share a common code base.
pfSense Plus software version numbers use the format <year>.<month>.<patch>
where the <patch> suffix is omitted when the value is 0. This version
numbering scheme follows the format used by TNSR software, also produced by
Netgate, which in turn is modeled after the version format used by the Linux
Foundation FD.io project. This change happened at the start of 2021 when
the name changed from “pfSense Factory Edition” to “pfSense Plus”.
pfSense CE software version numbers use the format <major>.<minor>.<patch>,
and each component is present even if the value is 0. This version numbering
scheme is similar to the format used by FreeBSD software. In the past, this
format was also used for releases of pfSense Factory Edition software before it
was renamed to pfSense Plus.
