Forticlient Release Channels

We are using Forticlient 7.2.4 on Windows and are impacted by BUG 961079. I note though that this is listed as a fixed issue on Forticlient 7.0.12 here.So is this a regression in the latter versions of Forticlient or are there different release channels that are being maintained?

Both versions are maintained. FCT 7.2.4 was released on 4 March while 7.0.12 was released on 4 April, that's why the mentioned bug has been corrected on one but not yet on the other. So I guess it will be fixes on 7.2.5.

Thanks @AEK . So which channels/versions are maintained? I've asked support and they have indcated this is fixed in 7.2.5 (due July timeframe it seems) but is 7.0.x generally mainated and fixes backported or is 7.1.x also maintained? I can't find any documentation on this.

Both branches 7.0 and 7.2 are actively supported by the Engineering team. The next respective versions are scheduled to be delivered on June (7.0) and July (7.2). Also a new firmware branch 7.4 is going to be release soon. There is no 7.1.

The first release of FortiClient 7.0 was on Apr 2021, and according to Product Life Cycle Policy it will be maintained 54 months after that date. So if I'm not wrong and have not missed something it is applicable to FortiClient as well.

 

End of Support Date (EOS): The final milestone in the lifecycle is the End of Support date. After this date
Fortinet, will not sell, manufacture or improve the product and is under no obligation to provide support
services. In general the EOS takes place as follows:
   • Hardware - 60 months after the EOO Date
   • Software - 54 months after the GA date
   • Stand Alone Services – on the service contract termination date
