	92	+=== Collaboratory 2 release (2021-02-17) ===
55	55
	94	+The release going ahead on 17th February has the following enhancements.
	95	+
	96	+
	97	+1. Mounting a new "Shared" drive for the ability to easily share links from Seafile. So going forward, any links that need to be shared should be generated in the "Shared " drive. The original "/drive" will be kept so it does not break any of the already existing links.
	98	+1. OnlyOffice is being upgraded to the latest version. This should solve the issue listed below in the "Files locked in the Drive " section. The section will remain temporarily until it is verified this issue is fully fixed.
	99	+1. Seafile file system is being increased

	101	+=== Collaboratory 1 maintenance ===
	102	+
	103	+Collaboratory 1 services will be down from 18:00 CET [[(my timezone)>>https://everytimezone.com/s/4a9daa55]] Thursday Jan 7 for maintenance. The services are being re-hosted from the EPFL/BBP infrastructure to the Fenix infrastructure. The OIDC authentication service will be reactivated first (within 30 minutes); all other services will follow in the evening. Once the Collaboratory 1 services are back online, you may find that files added to the storage within the last days do not initially appear. This will be remedied overnight as we synchronize the storage. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
	104	+
	105	+As a reminder the Collaboratory 1 services are deprecated and will be shut down in September 2021.
	106	+
	107	+If you encounter issues with Collaboratory 1 after Friday 12:00 CET, please contact [[https:~~/~~/ebrains.eu/support>>url:https://ebrains.eu/support]]
	108	+

	110	+The re-hosting was completed on Thursday evening. Some services relying on the Collaboratory 1 may need to be restarted to take into account the new DNS entries. Please notify [[support>>https://ebrains.eu/support]] of any issues you identify.

	113	+=== SSL certificates (2020-12-04) ===
	114	+
56	56	Our SSL Certificate provider (Let's Encrypt) has been using new certificates to sign our SSL certificates as described on their [[website>>https://letsencrypt.org/certificates]]. This requires updates on our servers and on your web browsers. The updates on your web browsers often go unnoticed by the user but in some cases your browser may inform you that it needs to fetch a new certificate. You can accept this safely; most browsers don't even mention it to the user.
57	57
58	58	Note that this is not the same as accepting an exception in your browser because of a bad certificate. Accepting such exceptions can put your data and credentials at risk of a person-in-the-middle attack.
