/commissioners

The backend of the sites affected will have limited availability on the following days (update on the release date for POL):

• INFO: 12^th March from 9:00 to 11:00
• CWT: 13^th March from 9:00 to 11:00
• POL: 15^th March from 9:00 to 11:00

The deployment will happen separately on the three instances because of the simultaneous upgrade to 2.4. You can find more information about the upgrade 2.4 here.

More details on the changes being deployed in version 1.31 can be found here.

• A downtime is expected on the editorial backend during this time frame (around 10 minutes). We recommend during this period editors do not work on the site, as they might experience issues while saving their work. If it is mandatory for editors to work, we recommend that they save their work repeatedly, or even work offline if possible.
• A varnish cache is foreseen to keep the frontend online.
• After the deployment our team will run a check for problems. In case of issues we will roll-back the deployment to the previous version. If you detect issues over the following days,  please inform our support
