I'm just curious, don't they have something like "gradual rollout" to update their app? They just bulk-update simultaneously across entire agents? No way. Something is a bit off for me. But there are good lessons to learn for sure.



My company stays multiple versions behind latest for this exact reason, but we were still affected


I read that they pushed a new configuration file, so possibly they don't consider that a "software update" and pushed it to everyone. Which is obviously insane. If I am publishing software, it doesn't matter if I've changed a .py file or a .yaml file. A change is a change and it's going to be tagged with a new version.


I'm a bit unfamiliar with this stuff anymore... supposedly it was a content update, not the agent itself :/


Surely though these content updates must go through some kind of regression testing right? Right?


Party 'try not to cry', me and you


Wondering, how were you affected if you didn't update?


they likely pushed an update to all versions, or updated their updater(?) not exactly aware to us at the moment
