== News

ARC webinar has been announced, many ARC devels are expected to bre present.
EGI does a clean-up of mandatory components. WLCG baseline ARC-CE is currently 5.3.1, so no strict requirement to switch to ARC6. Probably in early fall this baseline will be upgraded to ARC6.
Xrootd5 is about to be released, with some major changes, so we need to keep an eye on it.


== Release

There are still random segfaults in unit tests in nightlies on different platforms, no bug report yet and culprit is not really known. Virtual memory exhaustion errors on older 32-bit Ubuntu platforms are due to known gcc peculiarities which are not likely to be solved, so no need to worry. Fedora 30 mirror issue has been fixed. There's also CentOS8 Python3 compatibility issue. Code freeze was expected tomorrow, but is likely to be postponed.


== Bugs

* 3939 - made major
* 3936 - minor, can wait
* 3925 - closed back, should not have been reopened
* 3928 - let the backend experts decide
* 3927 - not urgent, but important
* 3926 - remind the developer to accept it
Gitlab #61: remind the developer to take care of it
