Release tags

Release tags

To distinguish between bug fix releases and new feature releases, we have introduced the M and F tags in the image file name to indicate the two types of releases:

  • The Feature (F) tag indicates that the firmware release includes new features. It can also include bug fixes and vulnerability patches where applicable.

  • The Mature (M) tag indicates that the firmware release includes no new, major features. Mature firmware will contain bug fixes and vulnerability patches where applicable.

For example, 7.6.0 is a release that contains new features, it's image file name will be something like:

FWB_platform-v7.6.0.F-buildxxxx-FORTINET.

Here, the "F" in the file name indicates that this release includes new features.
