I was holding out recently for the following OC200 Firmware.
Model OC200 v2.0 Hardware Controller version 5.6.4, 2.0.1 Build 20220223 Rel.68551.
Because it was set to introduce Stateful and Timebound ACLs, however no sooner did I upgrade but it was caveated with, now needs a future Gateway firmware release.
I have a TL-SG2008P switch and tried to apply timebound ACLs using MAC, IPGroups and Ports with the new OC200 firmware and none worked, despite now being able to apply time ranges in the ACL configuration pages, which was not previously available. A disclaimer states the switch has to be capable. I looked at the datasheet for this switch and it does support timebound ACLs, but they don't work, instead they just block immediately as opposed to at the scheduled time. Gateway clearly doesn't do it without the aforementioned firmware update.
So I would be very grateful if it would be possible to see for TP Link Omada devices if pending release dates of the next firmware releases would be possible and their intended feature introductions and bug fixes?
It is frustrating just refreshing the check Firmware, on the controller and devices page? Sometimes the Download Centre doesn't even show the latest releases in the list and you are only aware once you see via the controller notification that a latest release is available.
I have looked on the firmware under official and firmware updates in the forum and it is a bit hit and miss as to which products state latest Firmware and release notes. When available e.g. released, the Controller and Gateway advertise this, but I don't see this consistently with Switch and EAPs. Sometimes forum posts are answered with will be fixed by the next controller release, that was the case for the timebound ACL, but as mentioned now you need to wait on ER605 firmware for it to function.
Could we please see a standard place to view pending firmware releases with their target dates and what they are expecting to remedy please? So that as a customer with an Omada ecosystem you can get some sort of pending timeline as to when you can expect to see your remedy materialise please?
My Omada Ecosytem is:
OC200 v2 - 5.6.4 - 2.6.1 Build 20220921 Rel.35903
ER605 v2 - 2.0.1 Build 20220223 Rel.68551
TL-SG2008P v3 - 3.0.2 Build 20220909 Rel.75248
EAP225 v4(EU) - 1.0.0 Build 20220713 Rel. 63370
EAP225 v5(EU) - 5.0.8 Build 20220613 Rel. 51936
Many thanks in advance.

@Hank21 many thanks. Can you please keep this thread posted on your developers response please? Also do you have a timescale for "very soon", is it days, weeks, months? There many posts across all of the device type forums asking about ER605 variants latest firmware release date, it would be nice to get a better indicator if you can please? Many thanks.
Dear @Apples
The ER605 new firmware has passed the test. If every thing goes fine, release process will take one week. So we can see the new firmware in few days.

@Hank21 I see that some people posted about a new firmware released for ER605 and pushed via Omada controller but no updates available via the ER605 product support page. Do you have any idea if this will be released soon?

@MayhemHack @Hank21 Good luck with getting an answer to that question.
Community were told almost a year ago that it was coming soon (with client VPN username/password options)
Seems like TP-Link have washed their hands of V1 yet you could still buy it as a new device!
