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.
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
alda
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.
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
PMParth published a blog post about v18 MR3 but rapidly deleted it; The three main features are:
Better SSL VPN Throughput, he said up to 6x higher on 2U appliances.
Better HA support for Sophos Central and Groups support for Sophos Connect
And 36 bug fixes, nothing else...
I've been waiting for AES-NI fix for software installation which has supposed to be on v18 MR3, but well, still not available.

Did they finally fix it to allow install and successful boot on UEFI hardware?
