Hi,

We've updated the metadata as described below but we haven't published
it yet. We will publish the metadata on Monday at approximately 9:00
am EDT. If you are one of the 110 IdPs that do not have an
<mdui:DisplayName> element in metadata, you will receive an email
notification at that time.

Have a great weekend!

Tom
