Future XG16 releases?

haennerson

Hi Sophos Community

I'm new here and I have my first question, unfortunately I don't find a better group for it as "Initial Setup"...

Does anybody know if there is a roadmap for the XG16 releases? Does Sophos plan to publish additional MR for XG16(.5)?

Or is the only way to get frequent updates the update to version 17?

best regards,

Simon

    I couldn't find any new Maintenance Releases of V16.5 after V17 was released.

    So we have the following two interpretations of this situation:

    1. Out of any magical reason, there weren't any bugs found for V16.5 MR-8 so far.
    2. Sophos is focussing in V17 only which means Customer who doesn't have the possibility to move immediately to V17, are maybe suffering protection...

    There are no more v16.5 releases.  There could possibly be one if there is a high priority security issue, but that is unlikely.

    All bug fixes are going into v17.

     

    What is preventing you from upgrading to v17?

    Thanks for your clear statement above. This statement means, we have to recommend to all our customers to upgrade immediatedly because if they expire any bugs, the first thing your Support will say is: "Please upgrade".

    Many of our Customers who have upgraded are complaining about issues in IPsec after Migration (As also there are many discussions in this Community about this).
