No Published Deploy Plan for the week of 17/04/2023

[Aishagain]

No published restart plan again this week?  Another bounce?

[Monty Linden]

Unofficial word is that 579248 (on RCs) will go the the main channel Tuesday.  Lox tanking underway...

[Logan Elf]

Indeed 579248 has gone onto main channel.

I confess to being a bit annoyed with the poor user-facing responses from LL of late.  If it wasn't for @Monty Linden, there'd be nothing apart from @Logan Elf's valuable info. 

Especially since the migration to 579248 appears to have introduced some unexpected behaviour changes on TP that were not flagged up after the RC channels rolls.

The changes are not (so far as I can see) damaging, just startling. I refer to intra region TPs not triggering the blackout teleport screens, which is a quite  a surprise on first encountering it!  It could be that the apparent change is confined to Firestorm users...I must check.

ETA: so it seems it is confined to any viewer that permits you to disable the TP screens etc, so most likely FS only.  It may be something to do with my particular graphics setting too so I was getting my virtual knickers in a twist over nothing.  Got to say that a TP down from my skybox at 900m to ground level is not for sufferers of vertigo!

Any news on what (if any) new code was deployed to the RC Channels(s) today?  I have not been out in SL much ("helping" someone possibly even more clueless than me update their computer).

There was nothing new rolled to the RCs last week, hence Main Channel just getting a restart yesterday.

For today's (26th April) roll. only Bluesteel RC will be getting a new version; the other RCs will just get restarts. From Inara Pey's week 17 SUG meeting summary

Well, I've TP'd around a fair bit this UK afternoon and I have only seen 579248, so I guess the planned deploy to RC Channels was a very limited set of regions.  Two of the regions visited were definitely RC channel until very recently, so I think my guess is valid.

I don't think the fact that my home was restarted twice yesterday is significant, it has occurred before, so it is no cause to get out my crash helment.

ETA: Ahh Logan was adding info while I typed...presumably none of the places I go are Bluesteel!

My mainland parcel is on Bluesteel, which enabled me to update my post. Plus there are the Premium sandboxes for the main RC channels (e.g. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/BlueSteel Sandbox A/128/128/23 for Bluesteel)
