We've had an outage on the routing server that does our load-balancing on the StatusNet cloud; identi.ca and most older sites are down.

2011-10-12 08:45 EDT: I briefly had the site back up, but there was data inconsistency between master-slave servers. I'm revising now.

2011-10-12 09:45 EDT: I think we've fixed the data inconsistencies.

With the upgrade of our StatusNet cloud sites, including Identi.ca, to the 1.0.0 version of StatusNet, we've come one step closer to a 1.0.0 release. The new version of the software, 1.0.0rc1, is available for download. Please, take it for a test spin and report any issues in our issue tracker.

We feel ready! We've been working on StatusNet 1.0 for more than a year, with the first alpha and beta release happening earlier this summer. We've done bug-squashing and hacking and GSoC, and we think it's ready to go.

Because there are major changes to the data structures, we'll be doing a significant amount of downtime over the weekend, starting Friday 9/16 at 1PM EDT.  Our expectation is to be back online by Monday morning EDT.

Yvan Boily of the Mozilla Security team alerted us to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on versions of StatusNet from 0.8.x up. We have released new versions of the stable code (0.9.x branch) and upcoming 1.0 release (1.0.x branch). All StatusNet users are encouraged to upgrade to either version 0.9.9 or 1.0.0beta2 as soon as possible.
