 So yesterday, November 16, 2018, RC2 for FreeNAS is available. So a couple changes they made here, looks a little more polished once again. Some of the plugins are back, but let's dig into a couple of details that were fixed here. So this is kind of a change log for it. Fixed some smart problems, a couple of middleware event issues, so smart apparently wasn't sending emails for that. Update net data 1.8. Now, I do love net data that it's included in here and there's been a recent change because I think they found some type of security flaw in it. So if you have net data at all, please update it and the folks at FreeNAS have updated the one they embed with it as well. It's just a great way to look at all the stats and everything on your FreeNAS box or any other server if you run this as a standalone. There's a few other things in here like an SNMP commits, but one of the ones that really was driving me crazy that they have finally fixed was this. And I'm kind of using this pseudo more or less in production and the reason why was I want to really test it. So we've got a handful of things running on it actively and making sure there's no problems, that way I can give you guys a fairly up to date status of it. And of course myself, file any bug reports if I find anything major. But this was a problem that they had had before where they limited you to short passwords and I'm definitely going to call it a bug. They did fix this now in RC2, so if you were playing with RC1 and had that problem, it's a warning that there's compatibility with longer passwords with certain services that rely on the internal database. So if you're not using any service that relies on that internal database that requires a shorter password, you can type a longer one. But before it just stopped you from doing that, and that was actually quite annoying. So happy to see that fixed. Happy to see some updates on this. And I've been running RC1 is when I started in production. I always switched over to RC2. The e-chills upgrade passive on fine. I've seen a few people complain about Plex problems. Because this is running in my office, I've only done testing with Plex like for some video demos. I haven't tested it again. But honestly, wait for the bugs that people have been emailing me about. I've pushed them like you've got to talk to people in the forums about it. I run Plex as a standalone because sometimes the plug-ins get out of date. So I'm not the most experienced at that. But of course, you may have some problems running the release candidates and getting some of those things to work. Now there's so few issues here that are targeted for release so far. A few bugs, you know, like misspelling the word success. I don't know something about that one made me laugh. Another one about ACLs made metadata corruption on ZFSN receive. I haven't seen that. I've been using ZFSN receive back and forth between my two free NAS servers, the 11.1, U6, and the 11.2. And that seems to be working. I also have been moving data back and forth to human and just using command line rsync and dumping data. It's not had really any issues. So that's been working well. Nonetheless, my overall is been happy with free NAS. Go ahead and download. This is still release candidate. We're at RC2. But if you want to look at the roadmap, we're looking at just 16 more days. We'll have the final release version ready. And that's kind of exciting. So I don't always get a say when there's new versions coming out of software, you know, from free NAS or a lot of the Linux stuff I do, because, you know, it's always new enhancements. It's not like when I get those Windows updates and I go, brace for impact, because it's going to be a busy day of phone calls. So that's it. It's out. It's available. Go ahead and grab it. And my experience has been very positive with it. It works great so far. So hopefully it works great for you. Please note, if you're having any problems with it, go in the forums, join the bug test team, help find these bugs and quash them as simple as that. That's the, you know, this is how open source projects get better. As we do a lot of testing, we find bugs, we report these bugs and the devs will get them all fixed. So if you're having problems with Plex, jump in there and try to, you know, get the most information you can together so these can get solved. Thanks for watching.
