Release 491 is available for testing on pre-live sites in the UK and Ireland on December 9, and will go live on Thursday, December 16. Following this, there will be no further releases in the UK until January. Release 491 will take place in the US on January 4.
Generally the release is timed to commence at 21:00 UK/Ireland Release and 10:00 US release (UK times) and usually there is no loss in service as part of this Scheduled Engineering work. If we expect a transient loss in Service to occur this will be be within the opening 1 hour window of the release, and we would advise in the release notes.

Improvements
We have added a feature to reporting mapping tool to enable users to export all PII Blocklist fields into a CSV. This enables users to review the list of fields outside of the mapping tool in bulk. Updates still need to be applied within the mapping tool.
A new export button is now available on the top right of the page of the PII Blocklist tab in the mapping tool. Pressing the button creates a file in the format: pii-blocklist-fields-yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.csv where yyyy-mm-dd is the date of the download and hh-mm-ss is the time of the download
The format of the file is: field_id, field_dataname, field_label, is_pii The value of is_pii is "False" if the field has been unblocked to migrate to redshift and "True" if it remains on the blocklist.
We've updated the platform's Rich Text editor to the latest version of TinyMCE. See attached screenshot for a view of the editor. This change improves security and has no impact on functionality.
