Deployment
[list]
[*]The Q1 update will be deployed at 20:00 GMT on April 3rd.
[*]iGP Manager will be temporarily closed for an estimated duration of one hour or less.

[/list]
Downtime / Postponing of races
Any races starting on April 3rd from 18:00 - 20:00 GMT may be postponed to ensure the quality of data is not affected by the modifications happening on the back-end of the site. The maximum expected delay for any race is 3 hours.

This temporary postponement of races only occurs when patches are being deployed (four times per year) in order to allow us to smoothly roll out the update and ensure the quality of data being processed is not affected.

Features
Highlights and features of this patch can be found in the announcement thread.

Excellent news. Does this mean that the race will merely start later? Or will the race be postponed until the day after?

Our race starts at 8pm GMT on the dot, so what will happen? Will it be put off until 11pm?

Any postponed races will run later on the same day (so that they don't clash with races the next day).

You have probably thought about this, but looking at the league overview page, I can see that the vast majority of leagues have a race start time between 18h and 20h UTC. Wouldn't it be a better idea to apply the patch at a less busy time?

Haha I don't know! More like: startTimes = new SortedDictionary<int, int> for(int i =0;i<24;i++) startTimes.Add(i, (from league in leagues where league.starttime.hour == i select league).count()) q1patchApplicationHour=  startTimes[0]

So are we going to have time before our postponed races to do the test runs? Or do we have to do it early and hope for the best with the weather?

Not yet, we'll be taking the site down at some point in the next 2 hours for maintenence (to apply the patch safely).

Any races set to start within the next two hours have just been delayed until 22:00 GMT/UTC.
This will give us a window to operate in and apply the patch, thanks for your patience.

Will we get to re-do our practice laps? Change in weather conditions over two hours could be important.
