Hi All, 
 Sophos XG Firewall v18 MR3 has been released. 
 
 The firmware will be rolled-out automatically to all systems over the coming weeks but you can access the firmware right now via a manual download through MySophos . You can refer this article for more information on How to upgrade the firmware .

Update: SFOS v18 MR3 has been released Please see - https://community.sophos.com/xg-firewall/b/blog/posts/xg-firewall-v18-mr3 
 Hi All, 
 Here's the latest update: 
 As with any release for XG Firewall, ensuring high quality and a great customer experience is our top priority with MR3. For this reason, we generally do not make timing commitments for Maintenance Releases and only publish them once they meet our high quality standards. MR3 is a substantial release, integrating a number of security and performance enhancements as well as a significant number of fixes. We know there is high anticipation amongst partners and customers for many of these enhancements and are working as fast as possible to get it into their hands. We expect to release it next week but as mentioned, quality is our top priority and that will determine the release timing.

Hi Biilybob , 
 Basically this discussion should continue after MR-3 is released, so having it in the MR-3 release thread will probably cause the thread to loose its focus. Please keep up the discussion and provide Sophos management errors where the XG is seen to fail for any level business. 
 Probably the worst failure from my point of view is the QA area, fixes in one version fail in the next version. How the DPI engine got past QA has to be a serious question for the QA manager?
