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.
Got an email for the new release but the link is broken.
Hi XG Community! We've released a new build of XG Firewall v18 MR-3. Enhancements in v18 MR-3 Security enhancements: Several security and hardening enhancements - including SSMK (secure storage master key) for the encryption of sensitive data.... more
I have now been able to download MR3, here goes ..... for the first update
XG & UTM Architect (Systems: XG v18 & UTM 9.7 - Virtual, HW & SW)
Curious enough to take it apart, skilled enough to put it back together, Clever enough to hide the extra parts when I'm Done!
just updated my Home (with HA act/pass), it seems from first looks, much smoother (and I am remote), but it is just out of the wrapper, I will wait before providing any official comment...

Just updated Sophos Home XG ver 18.MR2 >> 18.MR3
Running on a Xeon E3-1225v3 and 6GB ram, the MR3 update took just under 20m to process.
Upon first logon I was presented with a new window "Create the secure storage master key'

and... Looks like there is a new AP firmware included with MR3

Hi,
I agree with the update time, although I do not have the update tot he AP Firmware yet, very odd, my system is a Partake I7 with VMWare VSphere 6.7 installed, and then the Guest instances have VMXNet3 NICs and it is configured in HA (A/P).
... scrub that after logging out and logging in the new AP firmware has appeared, yay

Prism, latest news I can give you on that issue is that is is currently in backlog for v19. I will talk to the engineering team responsible to see if it can be pulled in, but there is a lot in the backlog and I can't commit at this stage.
Thanks for the answer!
Also another thing, since on v18 MR2 Snort has been pushed to the latest version (2.9.16) is there any chances we will see Snort 3 on v18.5/v19 ? I'm asking this since Snort 3 already got out of beta, and will be soon GA by the end of the year.
