sampoyigi The update was painless! However, the “site is in maintenance” message did not display while the system was being updated.
Instead when I browsed to the site while the update was running, I got:
RuntimeException: The only supported ciphers are AES-128-CBC and AES-256-CBC with the correct key lengths.
