I did it again, I sent the wrong mail. Here the corrected version:
The corrections are in the paragraphs dealing with BDII changes and
the dCache version.

ALL OTHER SITES SHOULD IGNORE THIS RELEASE!!!!
================================================
There will be a standard release (LCG-2_6_0) early July for all sites
The new software packages are:
--------------------------------------------
FTS 1.1.2
the clients are part of the UIs and WNs and supported by YAIM scripts.
The server installation is described on the service challenge WIKI page:
https://uimon.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/LCGServiceChallenges
BDII 3.3.7
now supporting the new GLUE 1.2 schema
The new "bdii" package obsoletes the "lcg-bdii" package of previous
releases. It no longer changes IP table settings and no longer runs
as root (thanks to Jeff Templon and David Groep of NIKHEF for
suggesting how to
implement this).
LFC 1.3.4
the release includes YAIM install-scripts when used with MySQL backends.
Installation guides for the ORACLE backends will be published via the
LCG WIKI page in the next days.
For both backends meta-rpms are provided, however the ORACLE client
needs to be installed first.
DPM 1.3.4
including secure rfio.
For SEs based on DPM configuration scripts and meta-rpms are
provided for the MySQL based version.
The ORACLE based version is only supported by meta-rpms.
dCache 1.6.5-1
the configuration contains several fixes and enhancements provided by
GridPP
gfal 1.6.1
supporting secure rfio. If you upgrade your DPM you have to upgrade
your local clients (WNs and UIs) to this version. This includes the
update to
GSOAP 2.6.
lcg-utils 1.2.10
lcg-info-gridftp
this is a sensor for gridFTP logfiles that allows to monitor the
transfers from a globus2 gridFTP server
YAIM
based on lcg-yaim-2.4.0-4 with additions for the new components.
Who should install what?
===================
Every SC3 site should install the FTS clients and make sure that the
site provides access to a SRM enabled
SE. If the sites provided in the past a Classic SE only the SE can
be converted to a DPM based SE or a new
dCache SE can be setup.
The T1 centers with associated T2s and the T0 should setup FTS
servers, or make sure that their installation
is at the same version as the release.
Initially all T1s and later all T2s should setup LFC catalogues.
All the remaining client libs. should be upgraded.
Where to start?
============
The release is, as always, distributed via the LCG release page:
