Dear IPT users,

We have released a new version of the IPT, version 2.5.5 [1]. This version contains further updates to security issues with the Log4J[2] library.

This also contains a fix to the issue [3] with identifiedByID/recordedByID Darwin Core terms.

All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, especially those who use the terms above.

Upgrade and installation instructions are in the manual [1]. Please remember to check your data directory backup is working before starting the upgrade.
