Hi @jgambrill, the Release Notes for release 270 are located here:

I've checked our system logs and can see that the page in your screenshot (this page) was updated with the link at 4.41AM PST. Please could you try a hard refresh of the page: hold the Shift key and click the Reload button, in most browsers. If you still can't see the updated page, just let me know, and we'll investigate.

Hello David,

Thank you for the follow up.  I'm glad the Release was posted, and I can see it now on the second visit to this site; however, it was not present on your site when I checked this morning.  You definitely need to investigate, because I started with a fresh browser session, and my browsers delete all cache on exit.  I logged into my machine, reviewed email, saw the notice and clicked the link to open the page.  This would not be a local client issue.

Important point I've made more than once here...  Please post the notes BEFORE the release goes to Sandbox.

Kind regards.

Yes please post the release before or at least at the time the sandbox is migrated. So in this release, a multibatch option. Why not ? But Batch1 is still the default value and as batch1 is also the default value when creating billing account and as the ability to cancel a bill run in progress is not opened for everybody, there will be again bill run launched on batch1 whereas a lot of accounts on batch1 we don't want to bill...
