As of today, the distribution of this patch is scheduled for next week, as we're using it this week to detect as many serious issues as possible, fix them, and then thoroughly test the changes across all platforms. Submissions through platform owners also save some time, so we can't distribute this patch earlier.

We do our best to provide you with a stable patch as soon as possible and are constantly exploring ways to release the patch the day before. Therefore, we do not commit to a patch release date yet as we may release the patch before such a date.

We'll let you know as soon as we have an approved broadcast schedule, so please follow our social channels and especially our Twitter account.
