When to expect Update 12.1?

[Sapience]

It will be announced shortly before deployment because it is a hot fix. My guess is that it will be the 16 or 17. It is not done by the 19th it will be next year.

12.1 is not a hotfix. It's a patch (and a good sized one at that). We had a hotfix previously in 12.0.1.

Currently the plan is shortly before the Yule Festival which is currently slated to start on the 18th.
