SMB R77.20 End of Support

Seeing as the Enterprise Software Support Timeline shows R77.20 software for SMB Gateways ending in May 2020 and R77.20 was released in 2015 (more than 4 years ago), should we be expecting a new major version soon? And will it only be for the 2016 SMB appliances or also for the 2012 appliances as well?

An R80.x based version of SMB code is expected sometime this year.
I assume once that is GA, the "Support Until" date for R77.20 will change.

In this information i see certain contradictions and assume that they are wrong:

- 6x0 and 11x0 SMB appliances are officially supported until June 2022

- 1200R has no End of Support date yet and should be supported until 2014 at least

On the other hand, we know the last available firmware version for older models:

- SG-80: fw1_dep_R75_983004120_20.img = R75.20.71 Build 983004120

- 6x0 / 11x0: fw1_dep_R77_990172487_20.img = R77.20.80 Build 990172487

- 1200R: fw1_ind_dep_R77_990172583_20.img = R77.20.81 Build 990172583

Afaik, there may be new builds of R77.20.80/81 if they are absolutely needed to fix important bugs or vulnerabilities.

So, R77.20.xx MUST be supported until June 2020 anyway...
