FreeNAS 8.3.0-RELEASE-p1 is now available

[jpaetzel]

The FreeNAS development team is pleased to announce the immediate
availability of FreeNAS 8.3.0-RELEASE-p1.

Images and plugins can be downloaded from the following site:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.3.0/RELEASE-p1/

FreeNAS 8.3.0-RELEASE-p1 is a bugfix release for FreeNAS 8.3.0-RELEASE.
The main bug it addresses is the display of a "Welcome to nginx" page instead
of the WebUI which occurs sporadically in some situations. If you are running
8.3.0-RELEASE and haven't encountered this bug there may be very little reason
to upgrade.

There have been no major changes between 8.3.0-RELEASE and RELEASE-p1, mostly
bugfixes and minor usability improvements to the GUI. See the
release notes for a complete list:

The bug tracker for FreeNAS is available at http://support.freenas.org

Discussion about FreeNAS occurs in the FreeNAS forums, located at:
http://forums.freenas.org as well as in the official FreeNAS IRC channel
on FreeNode in #freenas.

Why didn't the MiniDLNA plugin get rebuilt? There was a fix put into it several weeks ago because it wouldn't stop properly.

Anyway the update installed fine on my machine without a hitch.

It will be in 8.3.1.

It will be in 8.3.1.

I guess I just didn't understand the update process. Thanks.

Some issues I had from putting a brand new already upgraded to v28 filesystem. I used the "FreeNAS-8.3.0-RELEASE-p1-x64.img" written onto a SD card.

First, it took nearly 8 minutes for it to boot to the web gui. Starting cron took near 5 minutes, and mountd took another 5. After the initial first boot, it now takes about a minute or so to reboot. This never happened to the previous "FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64.img".

Second, creating my initial "Add Windows (CIFS) Share", then hitting OK at the "Would you like to enable this service?" caused a failure. I had to try it "SEVERAL" times before it succeeded in enabled the "CIFS Service". Perhaps it needs to wait half a minute before enabling CIFS Service??
