Hello and welcome to DevUpdate #32!

IMPORTANT! On 18th of March, so this week's Wednesday, we will be releasing the update. Before the update goes live there will be a long maintenance, as we are upgrading our servers.

The maintenance will start 9AM UTC+0 on 18th of March! The update is expected to last six hours, which means that the maintenance will be lifted around 3PM UTC+0 on 18th of March. The maintenance can take longer or shorter than expected, depending if any problems arise during the maintenace.

Once the maintenance on the servers is done, the update will go live directly after the maintenance is lifted on 18th of March.

This is a very complex update to deploy, so be prepared that there will be some issues when it's live! We'll be deploying hotfixes to fix issues that are found.
