Introduction

Announced (via their web page, Twitter, and GS forums) and silent gc.com maintenances, and resulting problems. List may be incomplete.

Details

Site updates are usually scheduled on Tuesdays around noon Pacific local time, but there are exceptions to the rule. Buggy updates get fixed without additional notice, by new server builds.

Release notes often are decoupled from server updates.

See also Release Notes in GroundSpeak Forums

** sort order: latest first -- all times in UTC **

List may be incomplete as versions often get replaced/bugfixed very quickly!
