[MacTUG] WCMS upgrade to v2.6.1 – March 22-29

[Darren Bondy]

What is happening? All WCMS responsive “FDSU”, single page, conference and publication sites are being upgraded to WCMS 2.6.1. This release does not affect UWaterloo Scholar sites. Full release notes are available at: https://uwaterloo.ca/web-resources/news/wcms-version-261-release

When is this happening?
Voting and forms sites, along with the University homepage, will be updated on Thursday, March 22 from 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. on Friday, March 23.

Production sites will be updated during the following windows:

  *   Monday, March 26 from 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 27
  *   Tuesday, March 27 from 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 28
  *   Wednesday, March 28 from 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 29 (if necessary)

What you need to do before the upgrade begins: On forms sites, it is recommended that any “mission critical” forms be temporarily disabled prior to the upgrade window to avoid the slight chance that a form could be submitted while your site is being upgraded. All forms can be re-enabled following the upgrade window.
For all sites, please log out of your site and do not work on your site during this upgrade window. Sites will remain available to site visitors during the upgrade window
