A new version of the Europa Web Publishing Platform will be deployed from Thursday 4 April to Monday  8 April 2024.

Please consult the list of websites affected on each day in this PDF. If the timing is not appropriate for your website, please contact COMM EUROPA MANAGEMENT (Europa Web Communication) as soon as possible.

Please note that this version includes a new EC Visual Identity based on ECL 4.0. The new version has already been deployed in the acceptance environment. As it includes several changes in look and feel, we advise you to review your website in acceptance and make plans to adapt your content if needed.

Further information about release 25 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 note 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.

If you detect any issues in acceptance before the release, or after your (pre-) production site has been updated, please report them to COMM EUROPA MANAGEMENT (Europa Web Communication).
