We are working to make signature updates (and error messages) better before
RTM. We do like feedback such as this in order to help us correct problems
before release. The signature issue a lot of people hit happened on the day
you posted, so we were still investigating the issue. We are looking good to
release further information shortly. Thanks for being patient and testing
the beta.
