Avira AV / Sophos AV no Update since April 12

Actually an "Improving" of the situation is exaggerating reality again. Last IPS pattern is the same 9.15.80 since April 16 6pm and therefore 2 days old again. Manual update does not help. Anybody from Sophos out there who can have a look at it? Would be much appreciated. 

I am here as a XG User and personally speaking, The IPS Team collect the latest changes in Talos etc. to bundle them into one IPS update. 

More likely this is the reason for the "slower" publishing of IPS rules. 

You could check the latest talos / snort rule set. There are most likely publish only each week.

IPS update dated 19/4/2019.

Thank you for sharing that information. Although the idea behind seems reasonable, changes once a week would be a bit scary. Today I have IPS pattern # 9.15.81, it changed yesterday @ 5pm.

In fact it is not "weeks". 

But you cannot publish something, which is not "tested" and you cannot publish something, which does not exist. 

So basically you can take a look at the talos changelog.
