What is interesting is that there is a new column in the fix list called Platform, which will have a value of All, Linux, or Windows to indicate which platform the fix is relevant for. There are six Linux-only fixes, ten Windows-only fixes, with the remaining 17 fixes being for all platforms (Linux and Windows).<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Keep in mind that with the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.msdn.microsoft.com\/sqlreleaseservices\/announcing-the-modern-servicing-model-for-sql-server\/\">Modern Servicing Model<\/a> (MSM) that will be used for SQL Server 2017, there will be <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4041553\">no Service Packs<\/a>, and there will be monthly Cumulative Updates for the first twelve months after GA. After the first twelve months, there will be quarterly CUs for the next four years. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Microsoft has also changed their previous commitment to release CUs during the week of the 3rd Tuesday of the month of release. Going forward, they will just be released sometime during the month. This is fine with me, since I would rather see a solid release rather than one rushed out the door to hit a specific week of the month.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">In my experience, checking the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4047329\/sql-server-2017-build-versions\">SQL Server 2017 build versions page<\/a> is the best way to find out when a new CU has been released.
