We will be monitoring this thread as the code gets released, so feel free to note any observations you have about the server updates.  If you have a specific bug you'd like to report, please file a Jira.

I'm inclined to say "Better Late than Never" about the timing of this post, but it is more important, I guess, that we now know what the RC channels' sims are in for this week. 

It didn't take much guesswork to figure out what was due for Main Server after all. 

It is interesting to note that the Main Server roll took much longer to complete than usual (apparently) and that this thread did not appear until almost half an hour after that roll had completed.

Clearly the buggy software that was dropped on Magnum last week is not being promoted.

It's worth noting since the deploy this week, a lot of skill gaming objects that rely heavily on the web have been having all sorts of issues, mainly around HTTP requests never getting any responses (including 499s) or unexpected responses.  While a lot of this seemed to clear up after a second restart, there are still periodically some issues occuring post-restart. I know one object that sends an llHTTPRequest out, and awaits a response, but never ever gets one (including a 499) and indefinately hangs there waiting.  Are there any other reports of HTTP strangeness after this release?

[DragonfyreGames SLSGO]

HTTP issue is caused by llHTTPRequest returning NULL_KEY even when it should not be throttled.

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-10627 has been written to cover this.
