Scheduled Wednesday 2020-03-25 07:00-10:30 PST

 

 

On Region Restarts:
Regions will be restarted if they have been running for more than 10 days on Tuesday (Main Channel) and Wednesday (RCs) regardless of whether or not new code is being deployed, for the general health and well being of the Simulators. Nothing beats turning it off and then on again ... once in a while.

As always please plan events around these maintenance windows. However, if you are hosting an event on Tuesday or Wednesday when we're not deploying new code, you can restart your region ahead of time to avoid interruptions.

538907 makes for interesting reading ➕😁

Hope they sell a ton of Super Premium++ memberships to new virtual-working users.

Let's make 'em fancy in-world studios to share with their teams. Take 'em on sight-seeing tours and stuff.

[Logan Elf]

Well my version roll guess was wrong, lol

Versions are:

• 538605 - Main Channel
• 538907 - RC BlueSteel
• 538907 - RC LeTigre
• 538914 - RC Magnum

For my next guess, 538907 will roll to Main Channel next week.
I wonder if there's going to be a huge Easter announcement of Last Names and Premium Plus (and maybe the Log Homes)

Not so fast. 😉 BUG-228389

Also being investigated is an issue with offline IMs being delivered at logins. Keep an eye peeled for bug report. 

[Logan Elf]

I need to get a better crystal ball - my current one is obviously broken 🤣

[Whirly Fizzle]

Yeah, not so fast 

BUG-228393 - Offline messages are not delivered to Firestorm users on Second Life Server 2020-03-20T18:24:06.538907 (LeTigre / BlueSteel)

 

[Logan Elf]

Ugh that's nasty. My home is on BlueSteel, though I'm moreorless online all the time. Will have to remember to login elsewhere for now.

But you didn't break it this time, heh.

Well, considering that they have rolled back the Release Channel code, I think the announcement (presumably some sort of bot did it) of Main Channel Restarts/rolls is a tad premature!

More infernal changes? 😁
