Version 10.2.8 steht unmittelbar bevor

Die Release Notes liegen schon vor. Die Build-Nummer der Fireware 10.2.8 wird B215550 lauten. Hier die dieses Mal ganz besonders lange Liste der Resolved Issues. Ganz dringend erwartet wird sicher der allererste Bugfix auf der Liste (Upper Port Fix). Mit vielen anderen Punkten hatte ich aber in der Praxis gar keine Berührung. Fireware und WSM 10.2.8 sollen noch im Laufe dieser Woche, spätestens aber bis zum 31.03.2009 im Download-Bereich der WatchGuard Website bereitgestellt werden. Für die Installation ist eine aktive Live Security Lizenz erforderlich:
