Version 17.2.0 is a minor release, containing a number of bug fixes and some changes necessary to enable Lawmaker to run over split infrastructure. Initially, Lawmaker will be split as follows:
All users in the House of Lords, House of Commons, OPC, PCO and the Scottish Parliament will use one instance (instance 'p'),
All users in SI-drafting organisations will use the other instance (instance 's').
Users can log on to Lawmaker as they have done previously (e.g. at https://lawmaker.legislation.gov.uk) and they will be automatically redirected to the correct instance.
Version 17.2.0 was released on [11 November 2024].
