OPNsense version 15.1.5 Released 

Here is the full list of changes:

• Removed a spurious user-agent check to restore mobile device support.
• Fixed pop-up window handling for LDAP configuration.
• Fixed several minor GUI bugs in firewall rules and system pages.
• Grab the correct OpenSSL from the system for encrypting/decrypting the configuration files.
• Message of the day now shows the correct system version.
• Fixed sorting and button for deleting selected rules in NAT pages.
• Notable ports updates: pkg 1.4.10, gettext 0.19.4, libzmq 4.0.5, ntp 4.2.8p1, ca_root_nss 3.17.4, libsodium 1.0.2
• Groundwork on the MVC-based GUI replacement including examples. This does not affect the current GUI.

All upgrade methods are viable. The images can be found here:

 PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENT

The PC-BSD project is pleased to announce the availability of our first
images based upon FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT!
WARNING: These images are considered “bleeding-edge” and should be
treated as such.
The DVD/USB ISO files can now be downloaded from the following URL:
http://download.pcbsd.org/iso/11.0-CURRENTFEB2015/amd64/
We hope to continue rolling these –CURRENT images as a way for testers
and developers to tryout both FreeBSD and PC-BSD bleeding edge features,
often months before a planned release. These images include a full PKG
repository compiled for that months image. Users of this system will
also be able to “upgrade” when the next monthly image is published.
