-====== RHEL 5 support will end in December 2018 ====== 
- 
-<wrap lo>2018-03-31</wrap> 
- 
-RedHat's support for RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 ended already a year ago on **March 31, 2017**. But since this is still the main platform at user's sites, __CineSat offers__ support of this outdated operating system for __an additional migration period of 21 months until end of 2018__. 
- 
-But 
-  * New data interfaces require up-to-date interface libraries that are not available for the outdated RHEL 5 operating system, and 
-  * New CineSat features make use of latest web technologies and third party systems, and they require an up-to-date operating system and latest Linux kernels.  
- 
-<WRAP danger 90%> 
-Therefore, we will have to finally drop support for RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 and for the 32-bit CineSat version by end of 2018. We strongly recommend our customers to move on to current RHEL 7 operating systems.  
-</WRAP> 
- 
-We are currently porting CineSat including all its data interfaces and tools to a 64-bit architecture on CentOS 7 development systems.  
- 
-<wrap danger>In 2019, CineSat will be delivered on 64-bit RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.6</wrap> for operational weather services.  
- 
-Non-critical applications may be based on other Linux distributions. Please ask our [[https://support.cinesat.com/pub:contact|CineSat Support Team]] for other options.  
- 
-<WRAP warning> 
-In case you require extended support for RHEL 5 beyond 2018 for a limited migration phase, please contact your [[https://support.cinesat.com/pub:contact|CineSat Support]].
