Description
The System > Update page shows the following when updating from 2.8.0-RC to 2.8.0-RELEASE:
Current Base System
2.8.0.r.20250516.1521
Latest Base System
2.8.0.1500029
Normally only 2.8.0 would be shown for the "Latest Base System" version. This also happens for 2.9.0, 25.03, and 25.07.
- Status changed from New to Feedback
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
The update widget checks all base/core/meta packages (rather than just the base package like the update page) across all available release versions. The version it will pick to show as an available update is determined by the highest version of all these packages. In contrast the update page will only check the base package in the currently selected branch (or a default branch if one is not set).
I've pushed a fix to make pfSense-upgrade's behavior more closely match the GUI behavior.

In the examples below the highest version available is from pfSense-system (or pfSense in the case of 25.03/2.8.0) so that's the version it shows.
