annoucements about the service and software of CAT

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

Hi,

  we are now ready to update CAT to version 2.1 and will do this 
tomorrow (Friday Aug 19th) at about 9:30 CEST (7:30 UTC). You may expect 
a short service break - up to 10 minutes.

The most notable difference for the user will be that we have merged 
Windows and we now have one installers for all versions from 8. We have 
also left Windows 7, deleting Vista (even though W7 installers will 
still work there. Android version have also been merged to 2 8 and up 
plus old 4.3-7.

If you have deep links directly to installer downloads they will still 
work producing what they are supposed to.

There have been many changes to the CAT code, most of them are internal 
improvements.  Some of the main changes are listed on 
https://github.com/GEANT/CAT/blob/release_2_1/Changes.md

CAT 2.1 comes with support for OpenRoaming which is turned off by 
default and can be turned on first by the country level admin and then 
by willing institution level admins. We will be writing more about this 
later.

Cheers

Tomasz Wolniewicz
