2009-04-08 09:44am : We will be reverting all 1.26 regions to 1.25.6. There is a bug such that if a parcel has “Object Entry” disabled, but “Create Object” enabled, people will not be able to create objects. If they edit an object that is already in the parcel, and the permissions are such that it could not now enter the parcel, it will be returned.

2009-04-08 06:55am : The pilot roll will begin momentarily
We will be deploying server version 1.26.0 (Release Notes) to Second Life starting on April 6. The schedule will be as follows:
- Tuesday April 7 : the central servers will receive 1.26.0. No regions will be restarted
- Wednesday April 8, 8-10am : There will be a pilot rolling restart of ~10% of the grid
- Tuesday April 14, 7-11am : Half of the regions in Second Life will be restarted
- Wednesday Apri 15, 7-11am : The remaining regions in Second Life will be restarted
As is usual for current rolling restarts, all regions will recieve warnings starting 5 minutes before they are restarted. Each region will be down for between a few and 10 minutes. In rare cases, regions may be down as long as 20 or 30 minutes. If your region stays down longer than that, please contact support.
Version 1.26.0 has been in beta test on Aditi for the last few weeks. If you wish to look at it before the rolling restart, log into Aditi, the preview grid; Server 1.26.0 is running in the “Second Life Beta Server” regions.
