RE: What to expect from OSG 3.4

On May 30, we sent an e-mail outlining many of the changes to expect in OSG 3.4 and since then, we have released OSG 3.4.0 (details can be found here: https://twiki.opensciencegrid.org/bin/view/Documentation/Release3/Release340 ) and added relevant documentation. Most prominently, documentation is now available for installation and configuration of the LCMAPS VOMS plugin (https://twiki.opensciencegrid.org/bin/view/Documentation/Release3/InstallLcmapsVoms), including instructions to transition from edg-mkgridmap. Additionally, we have released our retirement policy and timelines for the following software:

  - GUMS (https://opensciencegrid.github.io/technology/policy/gums-retire/)
  - BeStMan (https://opensciencegrid.github.io/technology/policy/bestman2-retire/)
  - VOMS Admin Server (https://opensciencegrid.github.io/technology/policy/voms-admin-retire/)

As always, if there are any questions or concerns, please contact us at goc@opensciencegrid.org
