A rolling region restart will begin at 9am on Tuesday April 18, 2006 in order to deploy new code to all regions. I will be using the new tool which allows us to give residents in each region a one minute warning that their region will be restarted. When you receive that message, please move to another region. If you remain in the region and are disconnected, please wait a few minutes and then log back in. The entire update should take about 5 hours.

NOTE:

I must say that I would have posted this announcement much earlier if we weren't caught up in some *other* issues this afternoon. :-P

Suffice it to say, I will endeavor to return to the recent scheme of announcing updates well in advance once this current update is complete -- barring emergency releases, of course. Thanks again for your patience and understanding while we improve the Second Life experience!
