      Hello Roland,

      Thank you for your feedback.

      I just clicked the Enhancements and patches link, and it opened the right page, though it took a little while. 

      Please try clicking this link after some time, and let us know if you are still facing a timeout issue. I will request our technical team to check this issue.

      Thanks,

      Dhanya
