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.
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.
Choose an AD group that will constantly synced with the XG. I can import groups and the including members, but if I remove a user from the group at AD, the access at the XG is not removed. At least this is my last experience a few MR's ago.
