But note the inclusion of Bug 2033. This is the bug that has been messing with the invite list for some applications. If this fix works then it will be a well received release push. Our beloved Haikoo Zoo is one of the apps suffering from this bug so we will keep an eye on them through out the day to see if their situation improves.
The other items coming off th official feed is that allocation for bucket thresholds have been changed. If I understand correctly, it looks like apps that get a high amount of traffic, that is the most popular apps, have received more buckets for their notifications. Request are maintaining the same number of buckets but will receive more request for some applications (we assume the popular ones) and fewer request for others.
Popularity: 2% [?]
