FORUM UPGRADE

[DPI Wizard]

I will most likely upgrade the forum this weekend, if I get everything ready in time.

 

This is quite a big job as the only things converted automatically are forum posts, articles and members. The whole calculator and DPI Analyzer needs to be re-made to work on the new framework, along with a lot of other tweaks I've done.

 

For those technically interested the upgrade also includes a change of hosting company (to Google Cloud), with a new server with CentOS 7, PHP 7.1 and mySQL 5.7 which should make everything quite a bit faster and definitely more secure.

 

I've been working constantly on this for a couple of weeks now to make the upgrade a smooth as possible.

 

This means that at some time this weekend the site goes down for up to twelve hours.

It probably will not take more than 6 hours however, but something always comes up...

 

There will be progress messages on the new framework once it's up in offline mode.
