Hi guys, just wanting to give a little bit of a heads up of what our goals are over the next few days and whats been going on.
The Past few Days
As some of you may have noticed over the last several days we've considerably improved response time from our servers via optimizing page render times for a few key pages. There have been a few small bugs in relationship to these optimizations, however all known bugs caused by these changes have been fixed. But please report any abnormal behavior you see or experience!
As many of you noticed we had a unscheduled maintenance yesterday when our main database server suffered a disk failure. Luckily no data was lost as our disk array did preserve the data integrity.
This will continue.
The next few days
Why are we doing this? We want to remain fast and stable during 2.4's patch day, and we are committed to brining more optimizations and fixes to the table over the next few days. In this spirit I'll next be working over the download details page and the download page itself before tuesday, Just in case Tuesday be the day.
I've recently been made aware of a few bugs in the project administration related to language selecting for localizations. We also plan on having these fixed shortly.
Please stick with us guys. We're striving to make this our best patch day ever!
In closing, I hope that has been an informative first blog post from me. I hope to continue making more and more of these as we continue to work on more features and continue making this site fast and more useful.
I have only one request guys, Give us feedback. We'll read it(or at least I will) and I'll do what I can to make sure they're addressed as possible. Of course I can't promise any particular results, but I can promise one thing, if there is a problem with the site, be it a bug or a design problem, it won't get fixed if no one tells us.
Later and Peace,
Kaelten
