All incoming email will be queued and delivered once the networks come back online. There will also be updates to various Common User Environment web servers during this time. Each web server outage will last no more than 30 minutes, though, and all web servers will be up and available by 10 p.m.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" data-mce-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" data-mce-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">In addition, there will be several software updates and patches to CUE-managed computer operating systems. The default version of Mathematica on CUE will be updated to 10.2, and the default version of Maple will be updated to Maple 2015. Older versions will still be available via the CUE "use" command once the new versions are made the default. Java 1.8.x will be installed on all CUE-managed Windows desktops and servers, and Java 1.7 will be removed, as it is no longer supported and has several documented insecurities. Finally, updates to CUE-managed software, such as Firefox, will be released to all Windows Desktops, and patches for Windows and Linux will be released, as well.
