Forums 2.9.2.1
I recently released version 2.9.2.1 of the forum software. The new features are focused on combatting various spamming and abuse problems we’ve been having, to allow for Zope verification, and also to accomodate the introduction of ESO2:
- New ESO2 field in profile
- New Password Recovery system
- Improved IP checks during registration
- Login IP Tracker
- Centralized login/logout log
(Hrm… after updating the changelog I think this should’ve been 2.9.3, but I’m too lazy to update the version number. There’s also several new features that are being worked on for 2.9.3 sooooo…)
MySQL Database Changes
The passwords to our MySQL databases are currently being changed. While that’s happening, apps that rely on MySQL may be down for up to an hour.
Bricolage will be slow today
We’re republishing roughly 1,500 articles and images today as part of the Bricolage—> Zope conversion. Things may be a little slow on the Bricolage and Zope servers until the conversion is done.
