OSG 1.2.18 Release Notification

OSG Operations and Integration are pleased to announce the release of OSG version 1.2.18

******************************
OSG 1.2.18 Update Notification
******************************

Date: February 16, 2011

Affected Components

The following components are affected:

* All RSV installations

Summary

This release contains the following updates:

* RSV 3.3.6 which fixes two bugs:
* A reporting bug that prevents WLCG availability from being reported to the GOC correctly
* A bug that prevents successfully sent reports from being deleted correctly and results in those records accumulating on the system

This release fixes all the RSV bugs that were present in the previous release. However, in our post-release testing, we found a new bug that in some rare circumstances could prevent WLCG availability statistics from being reported. While this is an unlikely occurrence, we recommend that sites which depend on WLCG availability reporting should hold off to the next release that will fix this bug. We believe this bug fix can be released within a week.
