Upcoming maintenance

Post by Schnoff »

Salutations!

There's going to be a measure of maintenance. First up, a small security fix. That'll take, hopefully, under half an hour. I aim to do this MoreSoonerish, let's shoot for 8/10 at 10AM EDT, this Monday. I'll update when it's done or if I need to postpone because something else urgent came up, such as a lavish breakfast.

Second, I shall take this opportunity and swing us over to a new host, a new OS, and a new major version of phpBB. I do not have a timeline for this. It'll be a test of that migration first, and when I feel good and ready, I'll announce a date. Expect a few hours of down time, potentially, with this change.

The move to a new major version of phpBB went pretty well in testing. There's a risk, some stuff will likely break. The main driver behind it is that our current host seriously crimps the speed we can run at, and if I'm moving us to a new host, I want to move us to a current OS and phpBB version while I'm at it, so I only have to do it once.

Given that in my preliminary testing, nothing broke terribly, I'll ask the admins to bang on the test site, and then we'll come up with a date.
