WatchGuard Releases Fireware XTM 11.3.6 for e-Series Appliances

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.
