Dear all,
According to the EMI maintenance and support schedule [1] the period of
Standard Updates for EMI 1 products ends on October 31st, 2012. As of
November 1st EMI 1 products have entered the Security Updates support
period, in which only updates targeting security vulnerabilities are
provided, but no other fixes or functional improvements. This period
will last until April 30th, 2013 after which the EMI 1 components will
not be supported anymore.
On May 21st, 2012 the EMI project announced the availability of its
second major release, EMI 2 (Matterhorn) providing new features and
enhancements for many middleware components from ARC, dCache, gLite and
UNICORE, including important new services not available in EMI 1. EMI 2
products are fully supported until April 30th, 2013 after which date
they will enter the Standard support period.
In specific cases, extensions of the support periods for individual
products can be provided by the EMI Product Teams upon negotiation of
the terms with the user communities.
We recommend to migrate to EMI 2 versions of the services at your
earliest convenience.
Best Regards,
EMI Release Management Team
