New Firmware 16.05.8 MR-8 stable?

Any release notes available? 

That would be very helpful.

Hi Canis68,

Me too. I did not find the mr8 release notes.

Sophos?

Chris,

where did you get this pop-up from?

Let's wait for the official talex's post.

Thanks for sharing it.

When I went back to the control center a second time, after first dismissing the alert that MR8 was available, the system showed me the alert again with those release notes.

Chris,

can you share a screenshot?

I am on v17 beta.

Thanks

Luk,

Check it out...this is a nice improvement.  Strange in that I had to dismiss, logout, then log back in to see these release notes:

Thanks,

John

Hi all,

Sorry we have public holiday in Germany so I'm a bit late with the release notes ;o)

Please be aware that:
