Authentication service update
We would like to inform you about a planned update that will affect access to the service, which will take place on 13 October 2026 between 7:00 and 9:00 AM.
During the update, users will not be able to log in to the service. Existing sessions may also be affected during the maintenance window.
We recommend planning any activities that require access to the service accordingly.
Access is expected to be restored once the update has been completed.
We will provide an update if the maintenance takes longer than anticipated.
Conda Command Line Interface upgrade on User VMs
On 13 October 2026 at 09:00 CEST, the system-provided Conda installation will be replaced with an explicitly managed Miniforge-based Conda installation.
As a result, the conda command used from the Command Line Interface (CLI) will be upgraded from Conda 4.14.0 to Conda 26.3.2.
With this change we are able to maintain Conda independently from the operating system package version.
CLI commands using conda are expected to continue working as before, while benefiting from the newer Conda release, including newer features, improved dependency resolution, and other upstream improvements
