	87	The release going ahead on 17th February has the following enhancements.
	88
	89
	90	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.
14.1	91	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.
12.2	92	1. Seafile file system is being increased
	93
19.1	94	=== Collaboratory 1 maintenance ===
	95
10.1	96	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.
	97
	98	As a reminder the Collaboratory 1 services are deprecated and will be shut down in September 2021.
	99
	100	If you encounter issues with Collaboratory 1 after Friday 12:00 CET, please contact [[https:~~/~~/ebrains.eu/support>>url:https://ebrains.eu/support]]
	101
11.1	102	(% class="wikigeneratedid" id="H" %)
12.1	103	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.
10.1	104
11.1	105
19.1	106	=== SSL certificates (2020-12-04) ===
7.1	107
9.1	108	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.
7.1	109
	110	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.
	111
	112	We believe we have addressed all the issues that may arise from this change in SSL certificates. If you experience any issue, especially when accessing EBRAINS APIs, don't hesitate to contact [[support>>https://ebrains.eu/support]].
	113
	114
19.1	115	=== Files locked in the Drive (2020-09-30) ===
1.1	116
4.1	117	A few users have reported issues in saving OnlyOffice edits to the Drive of a collab.
1.1	118
4.1	119	We are looking into this. At the time being, it seems that a small number of files are locked by the Drive which prevents OnlyOffice to update these files when they are edited online.
1.1	120
4.1	121	We are actively trying to correct the problem as promptly as possible.
1.1	122
4.1	123	==== The temporary workaround ====
2.1	124
4.1	125	When you open a file in OnlyOffice:
1.1	126
4.1	127	1. check if other users are editing the same file. The count appears at the top right corner.
	128	1. perform a trivial edit and save
	129	1. if you are the only user with that file open, you can trust the presence/absence of a warning message from OnlyOffice
	130	1. if multiple users have the file open simultaneously, you can:
	131	11. choose to trust the first user who opened it to have checked, or
	132	11. check in the Drive the timestamp of the file that you just saved
1.1	133
4.1	134	OnlyOffice will notify you when you try to save a file and the save fails. If that happens:
1.1	135
4.1	136	1. read the message
	137	1. use File > Download as ... > docx or pptx or xlsx to save the file to your computer
	138	1. close OnlyOffice. (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)DO NOT KEEP LOCKED FILES OPEN IN ONLYOFFICE.(%%) It would mislead others.
	139	1. rename the file by adding (% style="color:#3498db" %)//_UNLOCKED//(%%) at the end of the filename, before the extension
	140	1. upload the file with its new name
	141	1. work on this new file
1.1	142
4.1	143	We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
