Good morning. Sorry for the late notice, but we are going to begin a rolling restart at about 10:55am (PDT) this morning. This rolling restart is required to roll out some server-side fixes and tweaks. Abbreviated release notes are below. One exciting thing about these release notes is the number that correspond to issues in Public JIRA. Thanks to everyone who has helped identify (and even fix!) issues through this new tool.

These fixes and features require you to be running viewers 1.17.1 or later to take advantage of the updated functionality:
* VWR-796: llStopSound() not working
* SVC-21: Request for making identification of llOwnerSay messages possible
* VWR-1101: Active Gestures > New button doesn’t auto-open gesture * Estate owners can now postpone a rolling restart for an hour

General fixes:
* SVC-242: Copyable objects are not appearing in inventory after being taken, are remaining, invisible, in world
* SVC-52: UTF-8 characters read from notecards are lost
* SVC-248: Viewer crash: Server sends malformed DeRezAck Packet (see VWR-176)
* A few simulator crash fixes

[Update: Pushed the start time back to about 10:55am to allow time for an in-world warning to be sent to all regions.]

[Update: Added links to the issues in JIRA. The restart is now under way. Time to completion is probably 2 hours.]

[Update: The rolling restart is complete as of 1:30pm PDT]
