Hi all,

   we have finalised the updates. As announced, the validator has been 
updated also within the aggregation process, so now CoCov2 warnings are 
also visible in the database.

The new format of the entity_status result is also implemented. It 
appears that all went smoothly. Should you notice something out of 
ordinary please let us know at:

edugain-ot AT lists.geant.org

Cheers

Tomasz
