    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.

    look in the sky the point is flying over your head mate - at the very least v18 should be the one the download points to.  The whole point of the new ISO is I am try to see if they fixed the UEFI install mess.   I imagine they didn't which would be par for the course and the workaround is install 17 and upgrade or install 18 and hack the EFI boot file with a 2 year old copy of Ubuntu.

    The first phase is a Soft Release - As usual. You can download the .sig files. Those files are possible to upgrade. Without ISO. ISO´s are only for reimages / New installations. 

    Soft releases are quite usual to do. in fact Sophos did this in the past years.

    As I said, the release notes give you the links to the installers. It wasn't clear that you weren't upgrading, hence my MySophos reference.

    sure would be nice if those were hyperlinks.  I spent the past hour tying to find.  I was pretty clear in the 4 posts I made that I need to be able to install correctly on intel hardware here I am trying to make Sophos money by having clients buy you product.  

    Guess I'll give Sonic Wall my business I can't imagine the average user ever sorting out the Sophos issues and since time is money I have to look elsewhere.

    Is Sonicwall allowing installs on your own hardware now?  I'm seriously asking (we dropped them many years ago in favor of Sophos for numerous reasons).

    No, but generally you can get a new appliance with 3 years support and updates for the cost of Sophos license and "commodity =: hardware.   And that support covers the hardware where if your NUC/1U server craps out with Sophos you have to replace that. Its not ideal but it works for a small medium company.
