Updated IGTF distribution version 1.36 available 2. Distribution format changes in the wake of OpenSSL version 1 ========================================================================= 1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.36 available ========================================================================= A new distribution of Accredited Authorities by the EUGridPMA, based on the IGTF Common Source, is now available. It includes the newly accredited Authorities by all IGTF Members and retires expiring CA certificates. This is version 1.36, release 1, and it is now available for download from the Repository (and mirrors) at https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/current/ (traditional format) https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/1.36-new/ (new format) Changes from 1.35 to 1.36 ------------------------- (25 June 2010) * Updated root certificate for PLGrid with corrected SAN extension (PL) If you part of a coordinated-deployment project (such as a national grid initiative, OSG, PRACE, DEISA, NAREGI or others) you may want to await your project announcement before installing this release. The download repository is also mirrored by the APGridPMA at https://www.apgridpma.org/distribution/igtf/current Next Release ------------ The next release of the distribution is expected in August 2010. ========================================================================= 2. Distribution format changes in the wake of OpenSSL version 1 ========================================================================= IMPORTANT NOTICE ---------------- This 1.36 distribution comes in two (2) formats. The primary format for this 1.36 release is the 'current' one, which has no changes. A 'new' format, available for your evaluation as of this release at: https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/1.36-new/ supports also OpenSSL v1 and is designed to be backwards compatible with the current distribution format. *** YOU ARE INVITED TO EVALUATE THIS NEW DISTRIBUTION FORMAT NOW *** In a subsequent release (1.36 or 1.36), the 'default' distribution will change to the new format and the current format will be depricated and only available via a special URL. The default download location https://dist.eugridpma.org/distribution/igtf/current/ will then point to the new-format distribution. Releases after 1.36 (Autumn 2010) may withdraw this then-depricated format and from then on only the 'new' format will be distributed.
