Hello Sophos,
can we still expect the XG V18 MR 3 this week ?
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 All,
To confirm, yes - the release for v18 MR3 has been unfortunately delayed and will not be released this week. Please stay tuned next week, as we'll continue to follow up with the development teams to share updates for the Community.
Hi All,
The team is actively working on the MR3 release. A date is not yet available, but please stay tuned as I will provide any new updates that I receive.
I've gone ahead and upgraded my production XG's to MR2. Even though there aren't any release notes its been running well on my home XG since I installed it. Who knows when MR3 will drop.
any chance to get a sneak peek on the release note?
it does seem like it but it's not, I use both (UTM & XG) and until the stability issues are ironed out (on both sides), these are not what I would class as an Enterprise grade products, and the support is just shocking most of the time. please note that when you get through to someone who knows then your issue
I have a ticket with them right now which is the same fault as 4 months ago, and it took Sophos 4 months to fix it before ... irony, and this fault first became visible to me 3 years ago.

Curious enough to take it apart, skilled enough to put it back together, Clever enough to hide the extra parts when I'm Done!
