Welcome to the News Digest – RDM in Natural Science. Each week, I explore the latest developments in research data management, focusing specifically on natural sciences, and provide a concise overview. Let us dive right in.

Breaking changes in version v.6

The following information is important for all the eLabFTW sysadmins out there. With the coming version (v.6.) of eLabFTW there will be some breaking changes. In a blog post, Deltablot is now going into more detail, why these changes will be done and what is changing for the administrators. So definitely worth having a look, or sharing with your sysadmins.
