On 20-08-2018 starting with 14:00 EEST ( 04:00 PDT/PST ~ https://bit.ly/2LfBGqU ) for 2 hours, we'll be updating Wordpress to the latest version 4.9.8 on all production instances. During this time, the wp-admin can become inaccessible for brief periods of time while the new version is applied. The public sites will not be affected and they will work normally. For any inquiries during this time don't hesitate to contact us at support@presslabs.com.

We recommend you to test this new version on your development instance, as they have already been upgraded to the latest WP version. If you find any problems before the maintenance, please drop us an email at support@presslabs.com containing the Subject: "WP 4.9.6 upgrade problems"

The new WordPress version is mainly a maintenance release aimed at the introduction of Guttenberg as a call-out, so main features of this release are:
- Try Guttenberg call out;
- Privacy fixes and enhancements;
