Anyone have any information on the new software release?
Availability Dates?
New Features?
 
it's been released (currently version 8.0.2)

anyone deploy it and test it out yet?
 
There is a little documentation.


New features -
VPN load balancing for the ASA 5510 - Extends load balancing support to ASA 5510 adaptive adaptive security appliances that have a Security Plus license.
and
Transparent firewall NAT support - You can configure NAT for a transparent firewall.
and
VLAN support for remote access VPN connections -Provides support for mapping (tagging) of client traffic at the group or user level. This feature is compatible with clientless as well as IPSec and SSL tunnel-based connections.

These were seriously needed, but take a look at the open caveats - there's a ton. I know I will wait even though I really want some of these for my clients. (Too bad about it needing to be a 5510 for load balancing.)
