ETA for next "non security imposed" firmware release for 5.x firmware

mMontana

as topic title… can Zyxel share a guessed ETA for next ZLD 5.x firmware?

Should be this generation of firmware considered "bugfix only" status?

Hi @mMontana

The next FCS firmware will be released at the end of December.

Hi @mMontana

For the next release, we are focusing on implementing feature enhancements on our uOS firewall. As a result, the upcoming firmware release for the ZLD firewall will not include any new feature enhancements.

Currently, we do not have an End of Life (EOL) plan for the ZLD firewall. To avoid any confusion, we will remove the previous comment from the reply.

It will primarily focus on fixing issues in ZLD and will not include any further feature enhancements.

This tells me that a EOS is coming for that product line. Is there any annoucement date? 8 months are quite big time between updates, in Firewall/Security/UTM realm
