So far Barone hasn&apos;t said, but he did indicate last week that, barring any last-minute problems, he plans to wake up, slam a coffee, and &#8220;<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ConcernedApe\/status\/1767227520846639217\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">push the button<\/a>.&#8221; I&apos;m not familiar with Barone&apos;s sleep schedule, but most of the patch notes he&apos;s been dropping have appeared on Twitter around 1 pm ET, so I wouldn&apos;t be surprised to see the update arrive at roughly the same time.
