Deploy Plan for the Week of 2021-08-23

[Mazidox Linden]

Second Life Server

There will be no roll for Second Life Server this week. Ideally we won't need to restart most regions before next week's planned deploy; we've seen a higher tolerance for simulators to go a long period without restarting, and will be keeping an eye out this week to see how it goes.

Second Life RC

This week we'll be deploying version 2021-08-19.563028 to all Second Life RC. In addition, this update will bring all of our RC simhosts onto the same configuration as mentioned in the deploy plan here . This release has fixes for BUG-231064 and ensures llChar() now properly returns the Unicode Replacement Character (�) for all out of range, even if the input value is negative.

On Rolling Restarts

As mentioned above, we won't be doing rolling restarts for Second Life Server this week.

Is there any way Mauve on aditi could be restarted with version 2021-08-19.563028 so that I can test with my owned land and my group owned there?

We have paused today's roll as we investigate an issue affecting less than 0.25% of regions preventing them from starting.

I've passed this on to engineers examining the issue in-depth, but for posterity could you file a BUG at jira.secondlife.com so we can make sure we capture this failure mode as well?
