Release 37.1 (18 June 2020)

Release 37.1 of ARDC Online Services is scheduled for implementation on 18 June 2020, between 8am and 12pm AEST. This release includes new look ARDC colour schemes in the RVA and RDA portals and implements new URLs for all online services.

No significant downtime is scheduled for this release, however, some users may experience small interruptions in service availability while configuration changes are being performed.

While new service URLs will be implemented as part of this release, no immediate action is required by end users. Support and redirects for existing URLs will be implemented to ensure they continue to function as expected for the next 12 months. Updated service documentation reflecting the new URLs will be published as part of the release. Users are encouraged to transition to the new URLs at the earliest convenience.
