	Description:		This was a busy week for updates. I finished adding new builds to the build lists for 2017, 2016, and 2014, the first time I've done all three platforms on the same day. To be fair, two updates were on the 19th and one on the 20th, but that's pretty close to the same day. In the past I've had updates for different versions during different months. That will not be the case in the future. SQL Server 2017 is on the CU model where we get monthly updates to the product. No more service packs for this version. If you hadn't heard that, be ready for the new servicing model that consists of just the monthly updates. I wasn't sure if I liked this at first, but I do appreciate that we don't get confused with trying to determine which CU1 is needed as there were different patches for RTM, SP1, SP2, etc. Now I've gotten used to expecting an update each month and applying them after a few days. So far, Microsoft has mostly been sticking to monthly releases, though the December release got delayed into January. With holidays, that's expected. Read the rest of More SQL Server Updates
