Trac has been updated to version 0.11.7

Some customers may have experienced issues with Member Login and Sign Up/Order pages on the public website today between 6:40PM-7:40PM (GMT -0800) approx.
During a minor public website maintenance, a configuration file from staging build has been deployed to one live server due to human error. Because of this, using Member Login or Sign Up/Order pages during that time frame could result in using a SSL URL of the staging server, causing browsers to complain about SSL certificate and making customers unable to login to Members Area. Direct access to SVN/Trac/WebSVN was not affected.
We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Subversion has been updated to version 1.5.7.

Trac has been updated to version 0.11.2.1
Subversion has been updated to version 1.5.5.

We have updated our SSL certificate. When you access your SVN repository (using HTTPS) you may receive the following error:

Error validating server certificate for 'https://<account>.devguard.com:443':
 - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
   fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!
Certificate information:
 - Hostname: *.devguard.com

You may want to confirm the fingerprint from the example above and then choose to accept the new certificate.

Subversion has been updated to version 1.5.2.

Please note that although the servers are running SVN 1.5, you will need to upgrade your repositories if you wish to take advantage of the new features in Subversion 1.5 (like merge tracking).

To upgrade your repository, login into Members Area, go to Control Panel -> Subversion -> Repositories, and click the "Upgrade" option. You will also need to update your Subversion client to 1.5.

Please note that no action is necessary on your end if you don't need svn 1.5 features.

New primary data center now is SoftLayer's data center in Seattle, WA, USA.
Subversion has been updated to version 1.4.6.

We have updated daily backup settings in Control Panel for a better internal management and backup timing accuracy. Your selected backup schedule has been converted to UTC and now there are only 4 schedule options, separated in 6-hour ranges. Your backup schedule has been updated accordingly. Schedule options are now displayed in both UTC and local server timezone.

Please note that these are not our one-hour internal backups. There were no changes in our one-hour internal backup policy.

The public website got some new clothes. Together with this update, all DevGuard plans have been upgraded as well. Plan changes have been applied to all existing accounts.

Trac is now using mod_python, which will speed up Trac page load time.

Trac has been updated to version 0.10.4.

If you have your Trac RSS feeds protected (user authentication is required), and you need to get them working with external RSS reader, you can do so now by simply changing rss feed URL part "/trac" to "/tracrss", e.g.:


Also, your RSS reader must be able to handle http authentication.

Subversion has been updated to version 1.4.4.

Control Panel has been updated with a slightly different look and some UI improvements.

A few Control Panel improvements in "Edit trac.ini" page:

• Customizable header logo link ([header_logo]:link)
• Upload your own favorite icon ([project]:icon)
• Make edit field bigger and email address syntax check for [notification]: smtp_always_cc field

Backup interval has been moved down to 1 hour. Now, every hour a local, on-site, backup of all customers live data is taken, which is then synchronized with 2 different off-site backup locations.

The public web site got a new look. We're also preparing some changes for a Control Panel as well.

[trac]:check_auth_ip option has been added in "Edit trac.ini" page due to problems some customers experienced with their IP changing on every http request.

BDB back-end option has been removed from Control Panel. FSFS back-end option is now the only available option when creating SVN repository. All existing SVN repositories that are still using BDB will be converted to FSFS in the following months.

FSFS back-end option has been added as a default option in Control Panel. Now you can choose between FSFS and BDB back-end when creating SVN repository.

Off-site backups are in place now. Every 12 hours a local, on-site, backup of all customers live data is taken, which is then synchronized with 2 different off-site backup locations.
