-As you may recall, I tried updating the website software (DokuWiki) to the first release candidate for v51 (a.k.a. Hogfather), and it didn't go too well. There were some incompatibilities with the plugins I use. Andreas Gohr worked hard on fixing the issues generated by DokuWiki, and the plugin makers worked hard hard to update their plugins to work with the new version.
+I shall be taking the site down for a while on Sun, Aug 2nd 2020, while i perform the upgrade. Although I have a local copy of the website, I also do a bit of experimentation on it, so the two are not perfectly synchronised, so I'll have to make a backup of the site and download it first. It'll actually take longer to do that than perform the update. It should all be over in less than twenty minutes, then it's back to business as usual. Thank you for your patience.</del>
-I'm currently testing the release version of Hogfather on my local copy of the website and things are going stunningly well. I had to update two plugins, and once the update was done, disable a new feature. It was simple, straightforward and aside from disabling the new feature (javascript deferment), smooth.
+**The website has now been updated to "Hogfather"**
