This release should mark the "feature complete" state of 8.200. So no new shiny features until GA release anymore, but quite some polishing still to be done.
Installing this release might also be a good time to install the extended beta license if you haven't done so yet, see https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/110/t/70959
Two small features contained in this release:
Support for Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel broker
For more information see Hurricane Electric Free IPv6 Tunnel Broker
Advanced Options for IPSec Site-to-Site connections
IPSec Remote Gateways (Site-to-Site VPN >> IPSec >> Remote Gateways have two additional advanced options now. Support Path MTU discovery and Support congestion signaling. Generally if you don't know what they mean, you should not need them.
Not exactly a feature but a big change anyway:
Switched Log Management Backend
The syslog server used on ASG for sending logs to the Log Management service was switched out (From syslog-ng-pe to rsyslog). This should not have any user-visible impact, but I mention it here in case it causes any problems.
