today v5.6.3 has been released...

I'm curious...

starting from this version, are you using lazy-loading to improve page loading???

Again, new version, new bugs. As always. Again I'm disapointed.

I don't think that it was tested at all.

For me it is even more annoying, because I have FG 500E, probably first device in Poland. And 5.6.3 is the first firmware from 5.6 tree, I can't downgrade even if I would want. Another thing, 500E doesn't have internal hard disk and can log only to FAZ, but current GA FAZ release 5.6.0 doesn't cooperate with 500E :D

What's New in FortiOS 5.6.3 introduces Hotspot 2.0.

sadly, recently I have given up all "FortiAP" units and changed to "Unifi" AP...

1. 802.11ac: bad, unstable signal quality, bad performance(<50Mbps)

2. I hate sometimes I must reboot fortiAP because looks like it's not working...I got complain from end-user many times...

Can Fortigate (as WLAN Controller) interwork with Unify APs?

definitely you can't , unifi AP is belonged to UBNT this brand...

but its software controller is free or can purchase cheap CouldKey controller..

there are 2~4 free software controller solutions for unifi ....

I don't think that we will get the global-labels back:

I had to change your link to load it: http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/viewContent.do?externalId=FD40956

Along with the comment about global-labels no longer being supported that KB states:

"The Sequence view and Seq. # columns are removed."

I don't see any way they could remove the "By Sequence" view for Security Policies, so I'm not sure what they are referring to.

Global section labels will be restored in 5.6.4.
