Hello,

23.7 looks pretty good so far but no reason not to make it better. The MVC changes for DHCP, firewall groups, OpenVPN and Unbound receive several required fixes and the latest FreeBSD security advisories were added as well.

Here are the full patch notes:

- system: close boot file after probing to avoid lock inheritance
- system: fix lock() inheriting the lock state
- system: give more context in process kill error case since we operate PID numbers only
- firewall: groups were not correctly parsed for menu post-migration
- firewall: hide row command buttons for internal groups
- firewall: add "ipv6-icmp" to protocol list in shaper
- firewall: fix PHP warnings on the rules pages
- dhcp: check if manufacturer exists for IPv4 lease page to prevent error
- dhcp: use base16 for iaid_duid decode for IPv6 lease page to prevent error
- dhcp: fix validation for static entry requirement
- firmware: revoke 23.1 fingerprint
- network time: support pool directive and maxclock (contributed by Kevin Fason)
- openvpn: fix static key delete
- openvpn: fix "mode" typo and push auth "digest" into export config
- openvpn: fix race condition when using CRLs in instances
- openvpn: remove arbitrary upper bounds on some integer values in instances
- unbound: migration of empty nodes failed from 23.1.11 to 23.7
- unbound: fix regression when disabling first domain override
- mvc: fix empty item selection issue in BaseListField

- src: amdtemp: Fix missing 49 degree offset on current EPYC CPUs
