This release should not introduce any publicly visible changes, but we encourage all of you to test the new release in the RC environment.

Technically the UI is not part of the core whois, but version 1.81 introduces a number of changes to the internal API in support of the new UI. Since that UI is not deployed now, there is no need to deploy 1.81 now either. And to avoid doing unnecessary upgrades of the production environment it was decided to skip this release, and deploy these changes only when 1.82 is deployed.
