The batch job to add the "created:" and "last-modified:" to all objects took longer to complete than we anticipated (due to the higher rate of updates in the production environment). The job was completed late afternoon today, but since tomorrow is a public holiday in Amsterdam we thought it better to postpone switching on the new attributes in output until this Wednesday to make sure we have all engineers on board when we do this.

Dear working group,

Because no major changes were introduced with these fixes we plan to adhere to the original planning and deploy the 1.79.1 release of whois to the production environment on Tuesday 28 April (Monday is a public holiday here), and we plan to enable the new attributes in the output on Monday 4 May.

We have deployed 1.79.1 to production today.

We are currently running the updates to generate the values for 'last-modified:' and 'created:' in the background and plan to enable these new attributes in output Monday 4 May - because the background job needs some time to complete, and we prefer not make changes like this too close to the weekend.

Kind regards,
