I wonder if it was a goof on their marketing department as FortiOS 5.6 GA already has SD-WAN support. Nevertheless, I checked and saw nothing new on the support site.

No nothing was released yesterday.

 

SD-WAN is just a rename of WAN-Link-Load-Balancer.

The article describes enhanced SD-WAN functionality.. it probably got delayed.

no, I´m leaning more towards "eti_andrei" thought, that the date was a screw up from the marketing.

Any news on a release date for 5.6.1? I hope it fixes the EC SSL certificate bug.
