Are you sure you are building from git? RELENG_2_0 doesn't exist in git, we haven't branched it, it's the 'master' branch. And CVS HEAD got ditched for a reason...it didn't work, was going to take WAY to much effort to fix and the 1.x tree worked fine, so when 1.2 branched, we started calling the new head 2.0. It's a significant change in that it has full blown user permissions/roles, a fully reworked traffic shaper, dashboard improvements, and lots of work in DRYing up the UI (by no means is this work anywhere near complete). I'm sure I'm missing numerous other items, but it's a much larger leap from 1.2 -> 2.0 than 1.1 -> 1.2 was in terms of features/functionality. At the end of the day, version numbers don't mean anything anyway, don't get yourself hung up on 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, we could have just as easily called 1.2 pfSense 6.2 since it was FreeBSD 6.2 based, versions in software are somewhat arbitrary. --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
