OSG 1.2.18 Release Notification
OSG Operations and Integration are pleased to announce the release of OSG version 1.2.18
******************************
OSG 1.2.18 Update Notification
******************************
Date: February 16, 2011
Affected Components
The following components are affected:
* All RSV installations
Summary
This release contains the following updates:
* RSV 3.3.6 which fixes two bugs:
* A reporting bug that prevents WLCG availability from being reported to the GOC correctly
* A bug that prevents successfully sent reports from being deleted correctly and results in those records accumulating on the system
This release fixes all the RSV bugs that were present in the previous release. However, in our post-release testing, we found a new bug that in some rare circumstances could prevent WLCG availability statistics from being reported. While this is an unlikely occurrence, we recommend that sites which depend on WLCG availability reporting should hold off to the next release that will fix this bug. We believe this bug fix can be released within a week.
Update Instructions
Update instructions can be found on the OSG Twiki under the OSG 1.2 update instructions ( https://twiki.grid.iu.edu/bin/view/ReleaseDocumentation/OSG12UpdateInstructions ).
Additional Information
The release notes for the VDT 2.0.0p25 release underlying this release can be found here ( http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/releases/2.0.0/release-p25.html ).

Bug in OSG 1.2.17: Please don't update
Hello everyone,
Today we discovered a bug in the most recent OSG software release (1.2.17, released on Monday, February 7th) that affects WLCG availability reporting for sites. Sites may go into an UNKNOWN state one day after updating.
If you have not yet updated to version 1.2.17, we recommend that you wait until version 1.2.18. We expect to release it on Tuesday, February 15th.
If you have already updated to version 1.2.17, an easy workaround exists; we will have details available tomorrow after we conclude an initial round of testing. If your site has already reported as UNKNOWN, the GOC can help update the accounting records so that your site is not incorrectly marked as UNKNOWN.
In addition, we have identified the reason that we missed this bug in testing, and we have updated our Integration Testbed procedures to catch this type of problem in the future.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
