Hello all,

Kerio Technologies has grown into a significant player in both security
and messaging markets. We have achieved many accolades, and we have many
satisfied customers all over the world.

Kerio now employs over one hundred people in our three offices
worldwide. We want to continue to deliver products that you enjoy to
use. We made a promise to give our customers the best products in their
category. And that means implementing some changes in our product
strategy.

During the second half of this year, Kerio will be discontinuing two
host-based security products from our portfolio - Kerio ServerFirewall
and Kerio Personal Firewall.


Kerio Personal Firewall will be discontinued as of December 31, 2005. It
will not be available for purchase after this date. Subscriptions will
not be renewed. Technical support will be provided to all customers with
valid subscriptions until the end of 2006.

Thank you for your support of Kerio.

Cheers,
Joshua Thomas

Can someone point me to where this is stated on Kerio's website?  I'm
looking at their release history here
(http://www.kerio.com/kpf_releasehistory.html) and see that a new point
release comes out every three to six months.  Since the last release was
the
end of July this year I suspect they're still developing KPF.  I've been
using KPF on my home machine and am very happy with it.
