[12.02.2009] Server and Client Updates *Delayed*

[Koma]

Due to the downed servers of eAthena, maintenance will be postponed this week until readily available (meaning there will be a maintenance at midnight in one of the following days). There's no reason to reboot or bring down the server if the core is not being upgraded. Most other updates can be done while live instead.

OPTIONS of 'http://svn.eathena.ws/svn/ea/trunk': Could not resolve hostname `svn.eathena.ws': This is usually a temporary error during hostname resolution and means that the local server did not receive a response from an authoritative server. (http://svn.eathena.ws" TARGET="_blank)

Instead, we will continue testing to restore the buff timers and look into the issue of "dispbottom" scripts not displaying properly anymore (GiftDrop) -- which is most likely very related. If no progress is made, we will move forward with a mandatory client update and/or revise the dispbottom messages to personal announcements for the sake of display purposes.

I've also been informed that Kiana will be working on an updated version of Hat Dude for future updates. This comes along with the Christmas event planning, maps, features, and so forth.

As some also know, I have been on vacation over the past week (yet still pushed the updates for last week on schedule). I am now at my development desk once more to see that any other important issues are resolved.

EDIT: We have re-established connectivity tonight and have queued the updates for today for tomorrow night around the same time as usual.
