If you've been a user of Simplytest, I've just completed a round of maintenance, and everything should be up and running again.

I was doing website maintenance and checked for outdated dependencies with composer outdated. I usually filter with -D for checking direct dependencies and -p for packages with patch releases. These are typically easy pickings.

Drupal CMS is the official name for Drupal Starshot.
