== News

There are expectations that token-based AAI in ARC will be implemented soon, in particular in relation to Condor submission.
WLCG plans for Globus retirement in January 2022, so while most services are thought to have a Plan B (https, xrootd etc), MyProxy seemingly has no Globus-less alternative, so WLCG is looking for ways to re-implement it (ARC was approached).
Condor submission to ARC needs to move away from griftp for a number of reasons; a common strategy with Condor developers on this would be nice.


== Releases

* ARC6 planning:
 - there was only a small number of bugfixes, so no pressure for a bugfix release
 - REST: there are some questions related to error processing to be resolved, and once that is done, it might take a month of development and a month of testing, so end-May looks feasible for a release
 - OIDC: existing very early technology preview would be nice to have released even before REST, like in 2 weeks from now; to make tokens functional would take 1-2 months. Meanwhile a configuration option to turn token processing off should be implemented.

* ARC7 planning:
 - expected in fall
 - control directory redesign
 - move to C++ 11, as planned


== ARC5 support end

So far there is no need to extend support, a reminder would be nice to send around.


== Bugs

#3923 (Python3 packages for Ubuntu) will be looked upon
