== News

Some patches for the LSF back-end arrived.
ATLAS switched to https for file transfer, which revealed a bug in file transfer in ARC.
ICU people in Lund are still interested in ARC, but too busy with COVID-19. It is still unclear from where the extra resources will come from, if communities don't pay for them.

== Bugs

* #3980 - GDPR, is CRITICAL; the offending attribute is labelled as mandatory, so the schema change requires changing the content of the attribute from a clear text to a hash. Can be done in one week, but will break backwards compatibility with old clients (arcsync), so requires a new release.
* #3979 - is important for ATLAS, affects both davs and https. Would require a serious code review, as colon in HTTP(s) URL (file name) is currently not expected by the parser. For the time being will be a known issue (don't use checksum in http URLs).

== Release

Next release should contain the GDPR fix; the URL parsing is a major change so should be targeted for ARC7.

== AOB

A bug hunting session should happen some time in February
