New CKAN 2.9 version and patch releases available next Wednesday 29th July

[Adrià Mercader]

Hi all,

If all goes according to plan, next Wednesday 29th July around 13:00
UTC (15:00 CET, 09:00 EST) we will be releasing the next stable
version of CKAN, 2.9, as well as patch releases for the following
previous versions:

2.8.x -> 2.8.5
2.7.x -> 2.7.8

Users are strongly encouraged to always run on the latest patch
release for their version, as these include important security and
stability fixes. The latest patch release is the only one supported by
the CKAN team (patch releases don't contain backwards incompatible changes).

More information about CKAN releases can be found here:

Best,

Adrià

Hi all,

Sadly not everything went according to plan, so we will push back the
planned release one week.
The new planned date will be next Wednesday 5th August.

Thanks for your understanding,

Adrià
