==New WebP Images==

WebP is an open source image format created by Google based on the VP8 video codec. It shows a lot of promise, allowing both lossless and lossy compression of images and allows motion (encompassing what PNG, JPG and GIF/APNG do respectively). I have at the moment changed the images in the gallery on the Main Page to test Wikipedia and browser handling of the new format and if all is well, may convert the rest of the images on the site to WebP.

==Leaping back==

We are now back to using [[openSUSE Leap 15.2]] on the server. It has met our needs in providing modern TLS 1.3 support and the new charon method of configuring Strongswan rather than the old ipsec method.

We are looking forward to openSuSE Leap 15.3 as this promises to be closer to SLES 15 SP3 than ever before.

Nextcloud has been updated to Nextcloud 18 which supports PHP 7.4 so Nextcloud is back in action. We are now awaiting an update for the Piwigo photo server which is having PHP 7.4 related issues at the moment. We have also sorted out all the niggles with redirecting on Apache so web pages redirect from HTTP to HTTPS correctly now. We have also sorted the problems with the certificates (nothing security related, just a misconfiguration) and have submitted for HSTS preloading.

We have also sorted the problems with the certificates (nothing security related, just a misconfiguration with the wildcard) and have submitted for HSTS preloading. When generating a wildcard certificate, it needs to verify both the domain on its own and the wildcard, otherwise HSTS cannot be activated.
