February2012
Release date: Tuesday 7 February 2012, 07:00 (GMT)
At 07:00 (GMT) on Tuesday 7 February 2012 we will have a systems outage lasting about one hour when we will be deploying a software upgrade. During this time Online Services, Business Intelligence (BI) and all registration systems will be unavailable. The Automaton will not process email requests, but they will be received and queued for processing when it restarts.
All other Nominet systems will continue to work as normal during this period.
We will be upgrading the libraries that we use to validate PGP signatures. The new library we are using adheres more strictly to the PGP standard (RFC 4880) and as a result messages with trailing whitespace at the end of any lines may not be validated. In this situation, an appropriate error message will be returned.
Additionally, the EPP testbed will be unavailable from 14:00 to 16:00 on 08 Feb 2012 while we apply the software upgrade to the testbed.
