I'm listing here some of them:

FortiOS now preserves authentication sessions even after a Firewall reboot. This feature enhances the user experience by eliminating the need for re-authentication after a Firewall reboot.

877680

Enhancement to IPsec GUI. The process of creating and editing IPsec tunnels is now more logical. The wizard supports setting the IKE version for both Hub and Spoke and Site-to-Site configurations, along with other transport-related fields for Site-to-Site tunnels. Additionally, security posture tags can be added to FortiClient Remote Access tunnels. These updates aim to make the process more intuitive and efficient.

1035775

Improvements to device upgrade. This enhancement streamlines the upgrade process for all supported devices, including FortiGates, FortiAPs, FortiSwitches, and FortiExtenders. It offers a unified and consistent approach, empowering customers to manage and monitor the upgrade progression effortlessly through an intuitive interface. Moreover, it simplifies the upgrade journey, ensuring a smooth and seamless user experience.

919714

Users can now use FortiSwitch event log IDs as triggers for automation stitches. This allows for automated actions like console alerts, script execution, and email notifications in response to events, such as switch group modifications or location changes. This boosts automation and system management efficiency.

... and many others.

Enjoy!
