Scheduled deployment of release 8.1

A new minor version of the Europa Web Publishing Platform will be deployed on 3 February 2021 with some of the features planned for the release 9.

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

You can find information on the changes in the release notes.

You can always find the latest news and the list of planned features here in the release 8.1 wiki page.

• Prior to the deployment of the latest version to production, your acceptance environment has been upgraded. You can review the new version of the platform there. Should you detect any issues, please report them to europamanagement@ec.europa.eu.
• Your website will be unavailable to editors and visitors for a few minutes.
• After the deployment, our team will run some manual checks. If any issues are detected, we will rollback to the previous version. Please contact europamanagement@ec.europa.eu if you experience any issues after the deployment.

Please note that the release 9 has been re-scheduled for 24 March 2021.
