Thank you very much for the hard work and dedication you all put in to completing the V5.2 testing for Orbian. I have been impressed by your perseverance, attention to detail and the general good progress made. It has been a long project but we completed the testing to the original plan, something both I and Orbian are very happy about. It will be good to finally put V5.2 live, a project which has been running for over a year.
