No issues with the update process and so far so good with my sanity testing. I'm ...

Please test the packages to extent, so we can have a fail-save final release.

Are there any specific testcases or environments that still need to be testing to help with the fail-save final release? What other help can the user community provide? My testing to date has generally gone quite ...
