Release Candidate

This is a release candidate! Only to be used in testing environments!

This feature release requires a database schema upgrade. Please consult the documentation about upgrading your database schema.

The following changes are necessary and are covered by the alembic upgrade head command:

Introduction of the availability_read, availability_write and availability_delete columns in rses table. This will replace the availability column in a later release. (Alembic revision 1677d4d803c8)
Extend refresh_token column in tokens table. (Alembic revision fa7a7d78b602)
Drop third_party_copy column in rse_protocols table. (Alembic revision d6e2c3b2cf26)
Creation of several global temporary tables on Oracle. (Alembic revision f41ffe206f37)
Migration of RSE Settings (city, region_code, country_name, continent, time_zone, ISP) from rses table to rse_attr_map; These columns will be dropped from rses in a future release. (Alembic revision 2190e703eb6e)

This release drops the, long deprecated, DQ2 compatibility clients.
Full removal of Python 2.7 compatibility. If you require Python 2.7 compatibility on the clients side, please consider the Rucio 1.26 LTS release line which will still be supported until mid-2023.
