Jeez....

no enhancements! Fortinet finally keeps it's promise and just fixes things. Lo and behold. Keep up the good work, give us a rock solid v5.2 and put all the fancy new stuff into v5.4.

just my 2ct

it´s a patch release, enhancements are not to be expected.

No image checksums except for FGR_100C. Consistent with the RSS feed announcement that only mentioned FGR_100C.

I've asked supportadmin to generate the missing checksums.

HI,

from my experience with Fortigate now for more than 5 years (4.0MRx, 5.0.x, 5.2.x), I really appreciate that they concentrate on fixing bugs in the current release train.

But I wonder that there are still so many "Known issues" for this patch release.

As others have stated, it is a patch release, just fixing things. I have high hopes that it finally stabilizes the 5.2.x train, I've had "oddness" in every other 5.2.x release so far. Some are livable, sometimes not. I do purposely keep some customers back on 5.0.x as I think they'll have more problems with 5.2.x than 5.0.x. Even if there are security issues (ie. SSL security) in 5.0

While I've been around since the 2.80 days. Definitely in the past, features did creep in at random points in the trains, Fortinet lately has moved to a more structured release. In talking to my SE and support, features are only in the new even minor number releases (ie. 5.0.0, 5.2.0, 5.4.0), they have feature/code freeze on the line to do only patches now for the patch  release.

Ie. I was one (apparently of many) pushing for client DHCPv6 IA_PD feature, but they only relented to work on it after 5.2.0 was frozen, so it had to wait until 5.4 comes out, whenever that may be. (since the virtual image has been out a few weeks, but no hardware).

I am trying to decide how soon to install 5.2.5. The bugs in 5.2.3 have been bothering me for a very long time now.

I'll wait a couple weeks and then go to 5.2.5.

Yea 5.2.3 & 5.2.4 have been buggy. HTTPS access issues on WAN2, horrible SSL VPN, comeon guys thats microsoft per service pack 1 level silliness! Agreed on too many known issues and a few scary ones too.

Wait for dust to settle too...

I've dump 5.2.5 on a FGT90D. Waiting Waiting waiting ;)

I have loaded the 5.2.5 on the 92D, 100D and 200D, so far it working great with webfilter and app control....
