Happy 2nd arrival Birthday for Klaus๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›. It was 2 years ago today he turned me into his own personal slave.

That's interesting. All my links to MOS notes are taken from the button that used to display on the old interface. They've obvious changed it at some point, and supported the old and the new URL, but not continued doing that moving forward.

There must be loads of these URLs out there.

Yep. It is not a great start. Hopefully the will see all the criticism and fix the issues.

That sort of thing happens with new releases and new point releases. I would expect it to stay close to the mainline, so in a couple of weeks it will probably be ahead.

I doubt 19c ever will. I guess about a year after 26ai is released on-prem, if we are lucky.
