Today is not the day. :(

Hey folks,

Unfortunately, as the title says, today is not the day that 5.110 goes to Test.  

We hoped it would be. We wanted it to be. We pushed really hard to make it the day. 

This was a crazy week. On Tuesday, Gordon and I decided to institute a mandatory work-from-home policy for the entire team. That meant a quick scramble to get everyone equipped with machines and webcams and microphones and, in some cases, even desks at home. We started sending people home in waves.  By Friday, the entire team was up and running in sixty different locations, with access to slack and email and source code and bug tracking and server monitoring and everything else. This morning we were even able to do company stand-ups like normal, only via webcam. so, really, not like normal at all.

In spite of that, we made a valiant run to get you a build, because we know you guys are chomping at the bit to test 5.110 (and believe me, we are, too!) But after our end-of-the-day playtest, we took a hard look at the remaining critical issues and decided it just wasn't ready.

So: we're not quite there, but we are so, so close. Thanks again for your patience, but -- as always -- quality is paramount.  We appreciate your understanding.

Todd & Gordon & the (widely scattered) team at ACE

Disappointing, but understandable. Hopefully it will be ready early next week.

Thank you for the effort. This type of stuff is really hard without real world things running interference - we appreciate what you do.

Thanks again. See you at the next Thursday at Noon attempt.

My emotions can't take rollercoasters like this 😐

On the bright side:

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Glad you're all staying home and safe.

It's encouraging to know you've been able to stay working on the project.

Blessed communication. Thanks @jtoddcoleman. The community is very appreciative of the update, even if it isn't the good news everyone was hoping for.
