Product Update: Outpost Firewall Pro 3.5
 
We’ve got exciting news for you: the latest and greatest version of Outpost Firewall Pro will ship next week!
 
As we reported in our December newsletter, the new version will deliver higher protection levels thanks to closer integration of the anti-spyware plug-in with the firewall engine, plus the brand-new ImproveNet which will help to automate application protection, eliminating many of dialog windows you currently see when applications try to access the Internet.
 
ImproveNet is a network community that brings Outpost users and Agnitum engineers together to share configurations and enable everyone to benefit from universally-applicable Internet access security rules. By participating in the ImproveNet service, users can adjust their application access rules to protect against the latest threats. These settings are created, transferred and applied automatically, so that users no longer need to worry about how to respond to the next action prompt window – because ImproveNet adjustments mean that the window won’t appear in the first place!
 
 Participation in the ImproveNet community is optional - you can turn it off with a single mouse click if for any reason you don’t want to get involved. However, we encourage you to try out ImproveNet and see for yourself how much more efficient (and silent!) your firewall will be.
 
Outpost Firewall Pro 3.5 will be released during the first week of February 2006. All users with a current maintenance subscription will receive the upgrade automatically at no charge as part of the normal update process. If your maintenance subscription has expires, please go to http://www.agnitum.com/purchase/purchase_renewal.php to renew your subscription.

Attention all Outpost Pro users!  There are problems aplenty with the latest version of this firewall.  Just check out Outpost's users forum, and you'll see what I mean!

If your current version of this software is working satisfactorily, my advice is to leave it be until Agnitum sorts out all the problems with version 3.5!

I've counted quite a number of concerned and unhappy users that have posted in Outpost's user's forum
since the release of version 3.5.  Admittedly, there appear to be equal numbers of users without a problem with this version, but if you review the various issues of concern--and it doesn't appear to be just a single glitch--there seems to me to be a number of things that need to be resolved by Agnitum in a future update of version 3.5
 
To give just one quote from Outpost's forum, this from the Super Moderator/Beta Tester:
 
"Beta-testers have reported issues which have yet to be fixed in the released version and some do not consider this as being ready for release. Please check the Known Issues list at the end and only install 3.5 if the extra features are likely to outweigh the reported problems."
 
This, together with a number of other posted comments, is what has prompted me to post my 'announcement' in our forum here!
