I have a mix of 7.5.x and 8.0.x firmware running on Edge-X boxes with the management and firewalls running on R65_HFA40, and haven't had any problems with the Edge boxes. I've also seen release notes for 8.0.36 on Sofaware's KB: http://server.iad.liveperson.net/hc/s-9995810/cmd/kbresource/kb-4177396262942652132/view_document!PAGETYPE?sc=5660&sf=101133&documentid=354327&action=view Scanned by Check Point Total Security Gateway.
