Hey,

So this is the end of life release for the 23.1 series which includes the
recent FreeBSD advisories as well as plugin support for Zabbix 6.4.

We have finished the OpenVPN MVC "instances" for anyone who is interested in
a preview using the current development release.  FreeBSD 13.2 side looks
ready so we will be releasing 23.7-RC1 some time in the second half of July.
The final 23.7 release is scheduled for July 31.  The upgrade path from 23.1
will be enabled shortly after the new major release, but can take up to 24
hours due to testing and mirror propagation.  Please do not despair.  ;)

Here are the full patch notes:

o system: add RADIUS authentication support for MSCHAPv2 using Crypt_CHAP_MSv2()
o system: propagate error in rc.syshook scripts
o dhcp: validate client hostnames in Dnsmasq/Unbound lease watchers
o firmware: automatic kernel upgrade after reboot like base and package stages
o firmware: sticky advanced mode if flavour is set to non-default
o intrusion detection: add missing typecast in getAlertLogsAction()
o mvc: fix locking regression that caused bulk changes to not being rendered correctly
