list of current versions outdated, release notes outdated; gaps in release notes; confusing titles

Current versions of Sophos products is outdated; it states that the current version of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X 10.4+ is 7.2.1.

Not so; I'm using 7.2.2.

http://www.sophos.com/support/docs/Sophos_Anti_Virus-Mac_OS_X.html and other pages refer to Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X release notes — this, too, is outdated; it states incorrectly that the current version is 7.2.1.

http://openforum.sophos.com/t5/Sophos-Anti-Virus-for-Mac-Home/Version-7-2-2-released-fixes-NTFS-DMG-and-Bootcamp-issues/td-p/1355 announced 7.2.2C on 2010-12-06 and I assume that the release of 7.2.2 coincided with the release of 7.2.2C.

http://openforum.sophos.com/t5/Sophos-Anti-Virus-for-Mac-Home/Unable-to-complete-login-after-reboot/m-p/1011#M591 observes other gaps in release notes. Also, confusion around two different documents with the same title.

Hello Graham,

at present the release notes say 7.2.3 which has already made it to our clients. Seems to be "in step" with the Linux version.

http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/11846.html remains out-of-date; no trace of 7.2.3.
I cached a copy of the release notes on 6th January 2011, they were definitely outdated (7.2.1).
http://downloads.sophos.com/readmes/readsavosx_7_eng.html does not mention 7.2.2. Again, I have cached a copy.
http://downloads.sophos.com/readmes/readsavosx_7_eng.html mentions December 2010 but no trace of the December 2010 fixes for DEF51881 and DEF65406 mentioned in the 7.2.2 described at http://openforum.sophos.com/t5/Sophos-Anti-Virus-for-Mac-Home/Version-7-2-2-released-fixes-NTFS-DMG-and-Bootcamp-issues/td-p/1355
Are enterprise customers without the fixes that have been provided in the Home Edition?
To be honest, documentation is a mess :-(

Release notes are most important …

Just wanted to reply to a post in the MacHomeAV forum. The Current versions page gives 7.2.3, the linked release notes are for 7.2.5. Don't tell me the inevitable delay is more than a month :smileyhappy:

Also it looks like the Mac HE version lags behind but I'm not sure if this warrants an additional entry.

Finally it would be nice if the Download latest virus identity (IDE) files would also list the engine version - as it is shown in the product information or About window the ability to cross-check might reassure the users.
