The main grid database have had another round of updates, this time moving PostgreSQL to version 9.6.1 which brings a number of bug fixes and updates.
The grid is again connected to a speedier connection. The initial line speed is 50/50 Mbit/sec, but the provider can go to bi-directional 1 Gb if needed.
Formally the grid is still closed, but it is again possible to HG teleport to single regions.
