They just recent release 6.3(4), which has some nice features, assuming its stable. That being said, I would assume that they will eventually get to a
7.0 rev. If it follows regular IOS timelines, look for it in 3+ years.. :-)-Richard

I don't have any inside information on this topic, but based upon the documentation and upon what some people here have said, I gather that the answer is NO, there will be no 7.0 release for the PIX 501.
If my inferences are correct, it will be 7.1 that supports the 501, and 7.0 itself will likely last only a few subreleases. Notice that this is historically consistant: 5.0 and 6.0 did not last very long before transiting to the longer-lived 5.1 and 6.1 respectively.

The will be a 7.0 for 501/506 in Q3. (Heard on Partner Tech update) My guess is with limited features comp. to 7.0.1 for 515+
7.0.1 is out of codebase for FWSM, and 501 cant handle that.HTH Martin
