<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt">Dear
midPoint
community,</p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt">One more
update from us today - this time about midPoint container image
maintenance.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt">Starting
with the
new maintenance releases coming these days, midPoint container
images will
receive updates to operating system packages and Java runtime
components even
after the original midPoint release. Until now, released container
images
remained unchanged, and OS or Java updates were delivered only
with a new
midPoint release.</p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt">This
change will
help us address vulnerabilities in the container base system and
Java runtime
faster, typically on daily basis.</p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt">Together
with this,
we are also updating the container image naming convention to make
image tags
clearer and better aligned with common Docker practices.</p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt">We plan
also to
switch running midPoint from root to its specific non-root user in
version
4.11.0. We kept images for already existing supported branches
(4.8, 4.9 and
4.10) with the root user to avoid additional issues during
updates.</p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt">You can
