- Please consult the CHANGE RECORD on p.2
- Guidelines for the Data Release Description updated: template extended; submission as PDF document;
- Upgrade of the Phase 3 release validator (version 1.1.1) that now:
- supports the submission of science catalogue data;
- supports the submission of the Phase 3 release description as PDF document;
- improves checks on FITS keywords and their content to identify problems as early as possible in the validation process;
- provides support for PRODCATG tokens in uppercase;
- User documentation/manual updated.

- The Phase 3 release manager prompts the user for the title, i.e. a brief human-readable content description, when a new Phase 3 data collection is being created. Uniqueness of the data collection name is enforced.
