AES-NI for Software Version of XG

It is still on the backlog for a future release. As there are currently other items on the list of prioritization, this is not covered for the next release. But other features for improved performance on non Sophos Hardware are covered in the V19.0. Keep an eye on the release notes section for the upcoming V19.0 EAP: 

When can we expect the V19 EAP ? This / next week ?

No ETA right now. Therefore you could use the RSS Feed to get a live update on release. 

Is there already an ETA? Or still no ETA available yet?

As always, i cannot comment on ETAs as i am not a Product manager. I would refer to the release notes or the RSS feed.

Or use the RSS Feed for live feedback once the new EAP started. community.sophos.com/.../rss

Unrelated question: Why there isn't a RSS feed available for the partner news?
