[phpgrabcomics-announce] phpGrabComics server problems

[Andres B. <an...@ba...>]

Hi everyone,
as someone might have noticed, the testing server for phpGrabComics
(http://www.baravalle.it/phpGrabComics) has been down or partially down
in the past 11 days, and is finally up from today.

This was due to a combination of a large number of visitors and
technical problems during the migration to the new server. At the
present time the problems seem to be solved.

Nevertheless, the load on the new server is quite high - I would
appreciate if someone could offer another official phpGrabComics server...

Some news: the next phpGrabComics will be written in PHP5 - PHP 4 will
not be supported any more. If you are still using PHP 4 in your server,
you will have to patch your existing, current release, merging it with
the new one. I understand that this may cause some disruption but PHP 5
is now quite stable and I think this is a good time for the migration.

I had quite a stressful time in the past weeks and I have not been able
to release the Christmas release, as I usually do. A realistic date for
the next release is Easter.

By the way - this is the time for your requests for the next release: if
you think that something is missing, or you want to provide your
feedback, this is the time to do it.

Enjoy phpGrabComics!
