WatchGuard Releases Fireware XTM 11.3.6 for e-Series Appliances

April 8, 2013 By Corey Nachreiner

Available for Firebox X Peak, Core, and Edge e-Series appliances

WatchGuard is pleased to announce the general release of Fireware XTM v11.3.6. This release demonstrates our continuing commitment to delivering high quality products to our customers, with a significant number of bug fixes. You can install Fireware XTM OS v11.3.6 on any Firebox X e-Series device. There is no WatchGuard System Manager v11.3.6. We recommend that you use a later version of WatchGuard System Manager to manage Fireware XTM 11.3.6.

Fireware XTM 11.3.6 includes a large number of bug fixes, covering many different areas of Fireware. For more information, see the Resolved Issues section of our Release Notes.

For users of the spamBlocker subscription service, WatchGuard has switched to Mailshell as our new provider of spam detection technology. Mailshell scored highly in the most recent VBSpam Comparative Test, the industry’s leading independent testing program. In the testing, Mailshell’s filter accurately detected 99.84% of spam without a single false positive. This release also includes updates to the Mailshell engine based on feedback submitted after its first release with 11.7.2 for XTM appliances.

Does This Release Pertain to Me?

If you have an e-Series appliance and wish to take advantage of the latest updates, you should upgrade to version 11.3.6. Please read the Release Notes before you upgrade, to understand what’s involved. Users with XTM appliances should consider upgrading to more recent releases like 11.6.5 or 11.7.2.

How Do I Get the Release?

XTM e-Series owners who have a current LiveSecurity Service subscription can obtain this update without additional charge by downloading the applicable packages from the Articles & Support section of WatchGuard’s Support Center. To make it easier to find the relevant software, be sure to uncheck the “Article” and “Known Issue” search options, and press the Go button. The 11.3.6 Release Notes include clear upgrade instructions.

As always, if you need support, please enter a support incident online or call our support staff directly. (When you contact Technical Support, please have your registered Product Serial Number, LiveSecurity Key, or Partner ID available.)

      Andrea. The Mailshell solution is a publicly testing one that rates very well. Do know that the Mailshell engine in 11.7.2 is not the most recent one. We heard of issues with our original Mailshell release in 11.7.2. As a result, the engine in 11.6.5 and 11.3.6 is an improved one that should sort out some of the issues you are mentioning.

      Very shortly, we will release 11.7.2 Update 1, and it will have the same engine update for 11.7.x users. So I would try it when that update comes out.

    We are experiencing the same issues as Raymond and are considering downgrading client firewall’s to 11.3.5 pending some sort of improvement with the new spam filtering provider.
