== Nov 15, 2011 ==Friends, I've spent the last couple days migrating OrthodoxWiki to a new server (running Ubuntu Oneric Oncelot) and upgrading the various wikis to the newest version of MediaWiki. I have wanted to do this for a long time, but kept putting it off since it was a major project. Thanks to the dev team at WikiMedia, the upgrades went pretty smoothly, except that there were a lot of character encoding issues to work through. Unfortunately, some users may find that their usernames are illegible. If you are having trouble logging in, send me an email at info@ (this domain name) with your registered email address and username and I can reset this for you. (As far as I can see, this mostly affects users who were using Eastern European character encodings such as CP1251. I apologize for the trouble -- I fought valiantly, but was not able to get this resolved.) We are running in a stricter UTF-8 environment now, which means better things for the future. If you find bugs -- I am sure there are a few still lingering -- let me know. In Christ, — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit§ion=new talk]) :Email sending is now fixed. I've also added SPF and DKIM records to ensure deliverability. - Nov 17 :Subsequent fixes and updates (-Nov 19)::* ImageMagick for thumbnails:* AJAX search:* APC caching:* Compression and browser caching (mod_deflate and mod_expires):* Sitemaps generated:* Robots.txt revisions:* www rewrite fix:* Some extension fixes:* PHP Pecl Internationalization extension:* Future database updates set to InnoDB and UTF-bin ::Updated from beta to 1.18 release (-Nov 29) ==April 3, 2011==''New Wikis:'' We now have an Italian language OrthodoxWiki at [http://it.orthodoxwiki.org it.orthodoxwiki.org], and a Tagalog (Filipino) OrthodoxWiki at [http://tl.orthodoxwiki.org tl.orthodoxwiki.org]. Please help with interwiki links (it and tl) as you are able! [[User:WikiSysop|FrJohn]] ==March 5, 2009==Alexej Veselov has launched a German-language Orthodox wiki site at [http://orthpedia.de/ orthopedia.de]. Check it out. ==May 26, 2008==Some of you may have noticed that pages have not been editable for the past twelve hours or so, and once in awhile something else odd might have popped up. These anomalies were the due to moving OrthodoxWiki and all related sites to a new server. We have more RAM available now, and you should see a performance increase. Let me know if you see any residual strange behavior! — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit§ion=new talk]) 16:12, May 26, 2008 (UTC) ==April 7, 2008==I'm please to announce today the launch of [[fr:Accueil|fr.orthodoxwiki.org]], OrthodoxWiki en français. If you speak or can read French, pay a visit and lend a hand. Fr. Julian ([[User:Inistea|Inistea]]) is the main contact for the French wiki. — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit§ion=new talk]) 02:14, April 8, 2008 (UTC) ==April 3, 2082008==
Wow! It's been a long time since an update here -- I guess this means everything has been going along pretty smoothly. We have had some downtime lately -- it seems Apache crashes when we get too busy. I've just implemented a new cache system, which I hope will help ease things up a bit. We could go for more RAM, but that means a larger expense for hosting -- let's try this first. Hopefully you'll notice some performance increases as well. — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit§ion=new talk])
:As of tonight, all wikis have been updated to MediaWiki 1.12 and all current extensions have been tested for compatibility. — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit§ion=new talk]) 09:48, April 5, 2008 (UTC)
