New Firmware 16.05.8 MR-8 stable?

Question

Hi 
 I just received the message from the XG 105w that the firmware 16.05.8 MR-8 is available and should be installed. But so far I did not read anything (good or bad) about that version here. Is it recommeded to install the file or are there major issues ? 
 Thank you 
 BR

Hi all, 
 Sorry we have public holiday in Germany so I'm a bit late with the release notes ;o) 
 Here it is: https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/b/xg-blog/posts/sfos-16-05-8-mr8-released 
 
 Please be aware that: 
 a) the upgrade to v17.0 Beta is currently not supported 
 b) all issues fixed in SF v16.05.8 MR8 are also fixed in SF v17.0 Beta 1 or Beta 2 (which will come soon)

Hi rfcat_vk, 
 Thank you for the reported one, we have already JIRA ID for the same NC-21762 and it is resolved in SFOS 17 Beta-2. 
 You can set the timezone from the UI, to resolve the issue.

Hi, 
 Thank you for the feedback. Yes the DHCP lease details on UI, which is done by XG, would not be persist on Firmware migration case. 
 I will forward this feedback to the PM.
