Dear CFHTLS users,

The STEP-1 processing stage of the T0003 release has finished. The data have been transferred to CADC and will be soon available to CFHTLS users. At this stage, 11491 CFHTLS images have been processed, evaluated and graded by Terapix. For each image weight-maps, catalogues and quality assessement meta-data have been produced. 10208 images have been graded "A" or "B" and will be included in the second stage of data processing ("STEP-2", where coadded images are produced) leading to the final release products.

The T0003 will include all Deep, Wide and Very Wide data obtained between June 1st, 2003 (starting from 03AQ04 QrunID) and Sept. 12, 2005 (ending to 05BQ03 QrunID). Release candidates of Deep and Wide stacks are available on CADC since mid-february. We expect to release VeryWide by the end of March 2006. All Deep, Wide and Pre-Wide stacks have been produced ... VeryWide are being processed.
