Hello SW2 users,
I hope you had a good weekend!
We’re planning to release a major update, today. The release will occur on 3/1/2021 at 5pm mountain time. There will be a moment of downtime (less than 3 min), at 5:15pm.
Since this is a major release that includes breaking changes, users must refresh their browser to receive the latest version of the application. For now, the reloading needs to be done manually. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, however, we are taking steps to smoothen this process for subsequent releases: 1) we’re adding a mechanism for the app to automatically reload itself, after major releases; 2) we’re adding a new notification that will inform all users of incoming updates and let them know if any further action is required to receive the latest updates; 3) we’re implementing a process for the dev team to post notes about software updates, on the sw2.net website.
For this release, to avoid service interruptions, please instruct your teams and/or clients to refresh the application, this evening or tomorrow morning.
