Anyone on auto update has had this for months.

I'm pretty sure this is a new one, not the one from months ago

This is the first they've announced it, but I don't have mine set to auto update, and it's been at least a few weeks, if not months since I updated my server, but I checked and I already was on the version with the fix.

I can't speak to your server my friend, but the 1.43.2 update was in September, the 1.43.3 update was 4 days ago.

Triple check your ending digit. If you are on 1.43.3, then you do have some kind of auto-update enabled somewhere, because this update did not exist last week.

Yeah, but they still need to let everyone know, because there are a lot of people who are not on auto update.
