Dear All,

This upgrade is finished now. Some of the results are:

1. Your very own "probe status" page is now available! Just click on your
probe in the list (well... most likely a list of one, but still) and another
tab will open with more details about the probe. All the graphs are
clickable on this page. They show the history of the specific item (ping
measurement).

2. You can now set the probe's details (geolocation and description) using
the butting in the top right corner of the probe status page.

3. All currently known probes will do an automatic firmware update somewhere
in the next 12 hours. (As of now, about one third of them have already done
this.) You don't have to do anything about this. The new firmware (version
3820) has:
a) the ability to continuously ping the first two "hops" (as in a
traceroute) on IPv4;
b) improved resilience against disconnects;
c) improved internal security properties.

You can check if your probe has already been updated by visiting the probe
status page and looking at the "firmware version" at the top.

If you have questions or concerns you can write a mail to this public list,
or to atlas-dev at ripe.net (developer's list).

Regards,
Robert
