A new version of the Europa Web Publishing Platform will be deployed on Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 January 2023.

Please consult the list of websites affected on each day in this pdf. If the timing is not appropriate for your website, please contact europamanagement@ec.europa.eu as soon as possible.

Further information about release 18 can be found on the dedicated wiki page.

If you are working with a live or pre-production site, it will be impacted by this planned upgrade. Please consider the following:

• Your website will be unavailable to editors between 30 and 120 minutes.
• A varnish cache is foreseen to keep the frontend online for visitors.
• After the deployment, our team will run some manual checks. If any issues are detected, we will roll-back to the previous version.

Your acceptance environment has been upgraded prior to the deployment of the latest version to production. You can already review the new version of the platform there.

If you detect any issues in acceptance before the release or in (pre-) production after your site has been updated, please report them to europamanagement@ec.europa.eu.
