Release notes¶
We’ve seen some old virtualenvs breaking after the Python update. If an Python application does not start anymore with an error message like:
NameError: name 'PROTOCOL_TLS' is not defined
try recreating the virtualenv or contact our support.
Some applications might be affected by the glibc update on Gentoo. This may lead to strange encoding/locale/collation errors. Usually it is sufficient to restart the affected service.
