Code browser updates temporarily halted

Greetings,

We’re performing some backend upgrades to help improve our site service, during this time, updates to the code repository viewers will be put on hold. This only impacts the repository viewer, and will not affect the repositories themselves, you will still be able to access them directly as normal (checkouts, clones, commits, etc.). We will update this post when this is completed.

UPDATE: the backend changes are complete and the code browsers are updating again.

Regards,
Chris Tsai, SourceForge.net Support
