[cpanel11] Upgrade Schedule

We are nearing the last batch of cPanel 11 upgrades. We have another batch scheduled for this coming week (July 23 through July 28) and we will probably have one more batch after that.

We have received a few e-mails raising concerns over the wide-ranging dates of schedule. We are basically giving a week’s worth of a window to upgrade the specific servers. Yesterday we sent out notices to the accounts that will be affected by next week’s upgrades. We gave the entire week as an upgrade schedule. This is about as specific as we can get. We don’t know how many servers we will get upgraded in a particular day. It depends on how many other issues we are having to take into consideration for that day. The upgrades are a priority, but not necessarily a top priority. There’s just not that much of a change or that much that affects end users for us to make a statement like “We are upgrading your server at 9AM on July 24.” If the upgrades were that big and really affected the usability of your account, then we would make a statement like this and then when 9AM rolled around the upgrade would be our only priority, everything else would move back. But this is just not the case. The upgrades are big enough that we felt it was necessary to send out e-mail announcements, but this is just so that you would be aware of the changes and would not be caught completely off guard.  The upgrades themselves are very straightforward and just don’t really affect the functionality of your account in anyway.  When you receive one of these notices, it is meant to act as a reminder so that you won’t be alarmed when you log into your control panel and see changes.
