Second half of next week.  

The latest release candidate (2.11.3-2020091017) is installed on testdrive.loncapa.net, if you want to take it for a spin.

Hello HK,

Yes, the next LON-CAPA release (2.11.3) will be supported with CentOS 8.
The "Supported Linux Distributions" section of the 2.11.3 release notes includes:

 - CentOS 8 added
 - RHEL 8 added
 - SLES 15 added
 - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, 20.04 LTS added
 - Oracle Linux 6, 7, 8 added
 - Fedora 26 - 31 added

See: an early draft of the release notes I posted to the dev list earlier in the year:

At MSU this semester I will be provisioning some new VMs for the MSU LON-CAPA production instance and I will be putting RHEL8 (and LON-CAPA 2.11.3) on them.

Hi Stuart,

Just wondering if LONCAPA will be supported on Centos 8. If so, what is the time frame? Just got 2 new servers and am wondering whether I should install Centos 7 or 8.
