Edit

Main UI, API, and Job engine are all up and running. We will monitor things (hit refresh a few times) and see how well this new code holds up.

Please post any bad things in v/voatdev and maybe I'll see them. ;)

(Catchy title huh? Made you look?)

Hello Voat,

We've been working on an update for a while now and it's about the time when we feel we can roll it out. As with most updates, the UI should not change much from what you are familiar with.

The Voat code base has been affected by a low level bug in the data access components that the platform was built on. This particular bug only affected sites with a certain volume, of which Voat was one. It had no fix and we've been patiently waiting on people far smarter than ourselves to isolate and fix it. It's the primary reason for the instability the last handful of months. As of now, this bug has allegedly been fixed and the new update contains this patch.

Other than this patch, this update contains additional code for the Vote system we have yet to enable, chat, and the package feature.

We hope we can turn on chat, enable subverse transfers, votes, and other features we've been forced to turn off.

This update will take place tomorrow sometime (when I feel like it) and if we don't have many problems, shouldn't take long. If we have problems... I'll be on the preview site chat complaining about them. :)

I'll update this post when it's complete.

Much love.
