The MEDOC HelioViewer server has been updated. Among the visible changes: it is now possible to use the web app from a touchscreen, including a phone or tablet, and the web app now includes flare predictions. New datasets have been added and are also available in the JHelioviewer application: Solar Orbiter/EUI, GOES-R/SUVI, COSMO/KCor (Mauna Loa), PROBA2/SWAP, and Hinode/XRT.

In case your system (e.g. a recent Linux distribution) does not let you install Python packages such as our Sitools2 API client, you have to:
- either use the `–break-system-packages` option of `pip install` (although we advise against this)
- or install the client within the virtual environment you will use for your analysis.

The OSU Paris-Saclay IDOC Regional Expertise Center, which hosts MEDOC, becomes the 3rd French data center, after CDS and IFREMER, to obtain the CoreTrustSeal label. This certification rewards our efforts over the last few years to meet 16 fundamental requirements necessary for the recognition of certified data centers.
