Dear Piotr The new versions of both the Update and Query Reference Manuals in PDF format were available on the www.ripe.net website yesterday. The html version of the new Query Reference Manual is now also available. They both include details of the new SSO auth option. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Team

Dear Denis

The RIPE Database release 1.72 has now been fully deployed to production.

Could you please specify, when the new version of RIPE Database Update
Reference Manual will be available online?

We would like to point out that, with this release, Webupdates and 
Syncupdates can only be accessed with HTTPS and not with HTTP. This is to 
conform to the requirements of using RIPE ACCESS now as an authentication 
method for updating the RIPE Database. Any update using HTTP will be 
automatically redirected to HTTPS.

And this is good example of what I was trying to avoid when we were
discussing being over cautious with changing something just a week ago.
