[MacTUG] Update: WCMS upgrade to 1.12 - Sept 29

[Heather Wey]

Update: The WCMS 1.12 upgrade is still running and some sites are continuing to experience issues. If you need to create/update content on your site before the upgrade is complete it is recommended that you save often. We'll let you know when the update is complete (estimate is late this afternoon). We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your continued patience during this upgrade.


Additional details: During this scheduled major upgrade of the WCMS production environment, the database server was not able to complete all of the required updates during the maintenance window (Wednesday, September 30 from 9:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. Thursday, October 1). IST is conducting a review of this incident, and will make any necessary changes to ensure this issue does not recur.
