- 1.32.1 · Release23 Oct 2026Rollout-Zielversion – Fix: rollouts now detect the target version for the Business edition and when switching the release type (core package opnsense-business/-devel); before, the gate stopped them by mistake. Plus a clearer plan hint about alias names.
- 1.32.0 · Release23 Oct 2026Konfiguration als Code – Export rules, aliases, NAT, groups, hierarchy and site variables as YAML and import them again with a plan (drafts only, never straight to a firewall; opnexus apply --dry-run for CI).

opnexus password and the 2FA reset crashed, they work again. - 1.31.0 · Release22 Oct 2026Regeln sicher entfernen – Found rule candidates can be disabled through the usual preview (without a confirmation OPNexus reverts them automatically), deleted and restored later; with protection of the management access, admins only.
