If this is what you get when you log in don't panic:There will be a rolling restart this week to deploy server version 1.24.6 to Second Life. Release notes for what is changed may be found on this page on the Second Life Wiki. There are no new features in this release, only bug fixes. The version that will be deployed to Second Life is currently on the Preview Grid on regions running the Second Life Beta Server channel.
The rolling restart will follow this schedule:
Wednesday, 8:30-10PM: a pilot group of ~3000 regions will receive 1.24.6.
Thursday, 5-9AM: half of Second Life will receive 1.24.6.
Friday, 5-9AM: the rest of Second Life will receive 1.24.6
Each region will go down for about 5-10 minutes once during the rolling restart. If your region stays down for more than 20 minutes, please contact support.
Discussion of this rolling restart can be found in this thread in the Second Life forums.
The rolling restart is to fix 2 serious bugs in the last deployment on the forums you will find some interesting discussion and its nice to see Prospero Linden responding reasonably to most of the sensible points on there.
UPDATE: "the server deploy has been postponed a day, and will start either Thursday evening or Friday morning."
Let us hope that the updates go smoothly - I know many have been experiencing an increase in crashes since the mono rollout - fingers crossed everyone.
