POLL: Character Limit on Identi.ca
Posted 5 days 9 hours ago

One of the features of the StatusNet software has been that notices are limited to 140 Unicode characters, which (usually...) fits into a single SMS message, and which is the character limit for Twitter tweets. Some users love the limitations that 140 characters entail. Others find it unnecessarily restricting.

The StatusNet team has verified the vulnerability and identified a separate but similar vulnerability in another block of code. For these reasons, we've issued Security Alert 0000002 and made new versions of all three branches of our software available for download.

0.9rc3 Upgrade 13 January 2010 @ 10:00pm EST
Posted 3 weeks 6 days ago

Hello All,
Tomorrow night, at 10:00pm EST we'll be making the move to 0.9rc3.  All StatusNet hosted sites (including Identi.ca) will be offline for a brief period during the upgrade. It is expected that there will be some performance degradation as we bring the site back online, and that it could continue through sometime around 1:00am EST.   As usual, we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this disruption in service might cause and we're sure you'll find the 0.9rc3 additions worth the wait.
