Second Life Server: No Roll (but see below) Second Life RC: No Roll (but see below) Second Life Uplift: This week marks the beginning of medium-scale migration of production regions to the cloud (AWS). We will be transferring a few hundred regions from all existing channels of Second Life based on the Engineering team's need for additional data and performance metrics. Bulk region migration will take place this week between 6:00 AM and 12:00 PM (Noon) Pacific Daylight Time. If you are interested in having a region you own (or are the alternate payer for) migrated to the cloud, please submit a Support Ticket. Regions that are migrated to the cloud may experience degraded performance or behave incorrectly; if you are in a cloud based region (you can check by clicking Help->About, and if you see the URL on line 3 end in "amazonaws.com" you're in the cloud) and observe behavior you believe is newly incorrect, please file a BUG at jira.secondlife.com. Due to the rapid speed of our Uplift efforts, we are unable to guarantee that regions in the cloud that are behaving incorrectly will be moved immediately back to our existing hosts. 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.

Hey @Miller Thor We are in the process of moving from hg to git. We expect to have guidance for TPVs on how to convert the viewer sources along with us pretty soon. -Bugsly

We are working on the TP & sim crossing disconnect issue, and making several changes over this week. These may be a little bit more disruptive than our usual grid roll process and we apologize in advance for the inconvenience of those. We’ll do our best to keep this disruption to a minimum. We have a simulator update which we will roll to BlueSteel and LeTigre on Tuesday. Depending on the results we will make additional plans for gridwide rolls as soon as practical. We thank you for your patience and fully realize both the urgency and the frustration this has been causing.

We like what we see on RC Magnum so we are rolling the fixes and performance updates to all RC and Main Channel. Currently in progress at the time of writing this.

I've updated the initial post to reflect what went out today on RC Magnum.

I've adjusted the above links with the proper version and with release notes for last. Sorry for the delay. -Bugsly

We have a deloy to RC channels that is happening right now. It includes some extra logging for teleporting and some teleport improvements. I'll update everything proper with versions sometime today. -version 19.04.09.526122 -Bugsly
