âThey may delay our software updates, but they will never take our data freedomâ.
Wait, so 25.10.2.x is âearly adopterâ â if I let TrueNAS 25.10.x update the GoldenEye train without any special beta buttons itâll put me on an âearly adopterâ train/release?
And, in the official status page 25.10.2.x is an absent mystery release, too EarlyAdoptery for General but too old for the Early Adopter row?
Color me confused.
25.10.1 has the option for General in the trains selections. All the more recent updates to 25.10 are, currently, in the Early Adopter train. That changes as TrueNAS changes the stability on the Status Page. Only one version is listed per category on the Status page.
If you want to be on the General update train and on a 25.10 version, you need to switch the train to General while on 25.10 through 25.10.1 and that will keep you from getting updates until the next release is in the General category.. 25.10.1 will not see the 25.10.2 updates if on General
If you installed any version of 25.10 before 25.10.1 went to General status and did not change your update profile to General, then you most likely were already on Early Adopter. If youâre talking about updating from 25.04, then Iâd expect it to just show you the latest regardless of recommendation level as it always did because it doesnât have the improved profile behavior thatâs in 25.10.
As @SmallBarky said, if youâre on 25.10.1 or .0 you can change your profile to general and then only be offered an upgrade when a newer version reaches that level.
See Update from 25.04.2.6 to 25.10.1 - #6 by DjP-iX for context, but the short answer is that the Software Status page is automated and only pulls in the most recent release at each level. The overlap probably wonât happen again once weâve fully moved to the yearly release cycle.
