Available for testing on pre-live sites in the UK and Ireland on October 15, then going live on October 21. Released in the US on October 26.
Generally the release is timed to commence at 21:00 UK/Ireland Release and 10:00 US release (UK times) and usually there is no loss in service as part of this Scheduled Engineering work. If we expect a transient loss in Service to occur this will be be within the opening 1 hour window of the release, and we would advise in the release notes.

Improvements
We now show an error message within Integration logs when an Integration failed because it had attached to it a file that was too large. The file-size limits accepted by each Integration type are displayed in the Service Designer and breaching these limits could lead to the Integration failing. This new error makes it clear as to the cause of failure.
We have improved some ambiguous naming: We renamed Permission tab to Product Permission and renamed Permission Access to Permission UI Access.
Various security improvements.
Bug Fixes
Adding details to a repeatable subform creates a record within a table; the table has a downward pointing triangle icon which can be clicked in order to hide or show the table's rows. This button has been updated to make it keyboard accessible.
We've updated the Citizen Portal's default toolbar HTML to meet accessibility guidelines. Specifically, this update removes role="menubar" from within the toolbar's <ul> element. This ensures compliance with WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships: <ul> and <ol> must only directly contain <li>, <script> or <template> elements. Customers not using the default HTML must apply the same change to their site-specific HTML; this change can be made at /admin/self/Content/PageComponents#Toolbar.
Previously, payment Integrations occasionally returned a generic reference code ('REF/FSPA-NEW') rather than the reference code provided by a given payment connector. We have fixed this intermittent bug and the correct payment reference now appears within Integration logs.
