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

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... 

FloSupport Can we have release notes for MR3 not it is available, I'm particularly interested in bug fixes?

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

SSMK is described in the release notes.

Any news on NC-59127 ? Or there will be only a fix for it at v18.5/v19 ?

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.

SNORT 3 has been in Beta for so long that we had to decide to go for the latest shipping and supported version. I know it may seem like it should be the case, but it's not a matter of dropping in a binary or a library. SNORT is a very tightly integrated and customised component of SFOS, V3 is on our radar but not in the near future.

Thanks; This has the answer I expected, way too much stuff changed from Snort 2.x to 3.
