Brief MySQL scheduled maintenance September 8, 2017 (completed)

Between 9:00 PM and 11:59 PM Pacific time on Friday, September 8, 2017, the MySQL database software on each of our servers will be upgraded from version 5.6.36 to 5.6.37. This will cause an approximately 60 second interruption of service on each MySQL-using customer website at some point during this period.

This upgrade is necessary for security reasons and to fix bugs in MySQL. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.

Update 10:21 PM Pacific time: The maintenance was completed as planned and all services are running normally.

PHP 7.0.23 and 7.1.9

The PHP developers recently released versions 7.0.23 and 7.1.9 that fix several bugs. We’ve upgraded the PHP 7.0 and 7.1 series on our servers as a result.

These changes should not be noticeable, but as always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble.
