RELEASE NOTES APRIL 5, 2005 PAGE 6
 When using Policy Manager to create aliases, be careful to not create a circular relationship. An alias must
not include itself or an alias that includes the first alias. If you do this, you see the error message:
“com.watchguard.vpm.config.ConfigManagerException: java.lang.StackOverflowError”.
[3655]
 The range of IP addresses for us by PPTP must be more than one address. If you enter only one IP address,
the PPTP connection does not operate correctly.

 There is no longer an error message when you click the Authentication tab of the Firebox System Manager.

Known Issues and Limitations
Provisional Features
A provisional feature is one that is available during the beta, but the feature might not be in the version of WSM
8.0 software we release to the public. Your comments and experience with these features helped us to decide if
the feature is appropriate for general release. With Beta5, we resolved that:
 High Availability - WSM/Fireware 8.0 includes this feature.
 Drop-In Mode – WSM/Fireware 8.0 does NOT include this feature. It will appear in a future release of the
product.
Known Issues with WMS 8.0 and Fireware Pro
The following are known issues with the Beta2 release of the WatchGuard System Manager 8.0 and Fireware Pro.
Where available, we include a way to work around the issue.

you select Update Device for that appliance.
