Code push scheduled for Sunday night

We are planning to do a code push late this weekend, at approximately 8pm PDT / 11pm EDT / 3am UTC on Sunday, Apr 30 (or May 1 for you transatlantic types.).

I don't have a list of changes for you yet, but most will fall into the following categories: things users have complained about to support volunteers, things support volunteers have complained about to developers, things [staff profile] denise has complained about not working the way she expects them to (and as we all know, The Boss is Always Right), and things that were printing warnings over and over in the production server logs, making it hard to spot when less frequent, more urgent errors were being printed. Oh, and also all the unused code I ripped out at the roots, which if you notice that, I did it wrong.

To sum up: we are rolling out a bunch of requested changes, so thank you all for your feedback!

If you're new to Dreamwidth and interested in tracking our development process, our commit logs are published to [site community profile] changelog and [community profile] changelog_digest, and every month or so, one of our volunteers will translate those often-cryptic entries into witty, informative code tours! The most recent one was published on April 1, so we're about due for a new one. Hint, hint.

We'll update here again to let you know when the code push is imminent!

Looking forward to this. I will actually have a good deal of time to myself starting next week and g

I'm so looking forward to this. I'll actually have a good deal of time to myself next week going into the following week. My neighbor across the hall is going on vacation so I can get my geek on without him bothering me, lol! Actually he's a great guy and I do feel sorry for him because he's lonely and doesn't do much outside of his apartment. But enough about him for now. Thanks as always for being so transparent with these things; it's one reason I chose Dreamwidth in the first place. Best of luck with this code push.
