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.
giannki that's all? 
Any Updates for Sophos Connect 2.0 MacOS? Or that they finally fixed that mess of AD Sync?
Hello Tom,
I am very much looking forward to their "high quality standards". I do not remember that in the last 2 to 3 years, any version of XG v18 MRx would be without errors and subsequent bug fixes in the next MR version.
I'm really looking forward to it!
But maybe they want to pleasantly surprise us all ....
Regards

P.S. I think we could objectively expect high quality standards at Check Point, palo alto networks, ForcePoint and Cisco, but Sophos? That will be a really big surprise.
Hi All,
As some of you may have seen, unfortunately the work-in-progress release post for MR3 was accidentally published in error. The post has since been removed. Note that the information contained in the post may be incorrect as the team is still actively working on the release.
SFOS v18 MR3 is still expected to be launched next week, so please stay tuned.
