This upgrade has been in Beta for several months undergoing validation by a number of customers.  There are many new features coming in the upgrade. Additionally, this upgrade will move all remaining services from Python 2.7 to Python 3.7.  The Python language upgrade is a major effort with the expectation that it will provide the foundation for future enhancements including improving speed and reliability of the platform.

IMPORTANT CHANGE:  For customers not using Single Sign-On, you will login with your email address rather than your username from now on.
