What's New from 2008

What's New - 1 May 2008

  • Added ability to search for a particular user tag. Alvonruff 01:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

What's New - 24 April 2008

  • Our ISP indicates that there will be some maintenance downtime April 25 at 10pm CDT. Their notice reminds of 2001 for some reason: "Engineering has been notified by internal monitoring systems of a RAM module failure in this system. We have scheduled a maintenance window on 4/25/2008 to replace the faulty RAM modules." Hope the pod bay doors open after they're done.
  • Currently working on getting the ISFDB source code uploaded to Sourceforge, and to complete the creation of a website to archive daily data snapshots of the ISFDB. Alvonruff 11:55, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

What's New - 12 April 2008

  • The ISFDB has moved from Texas A&M University to a commercial hosting service. I'd like to thank TAMU for 5 years of hosting the ISFDB.
  • The wiki has been upgraded to the latest version of MediaWiki. One of the associated changes will be the use of a captcha while logging in to reduce spambot activity.
  • There were a few changes need to move to the latest version of MySQL, Python, and MySQLdb. If you see any busted pages, leave me a note on my talk page. Alvonruff 00:31, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

What's New - 2 March 2008

  • Namespaces should be working now. All wiki pages have had their namespace id and titles modified via SQL queries. There are still a handful of Publisher pages that have unneeded redirect pages that still need to be cleaned up. ISFDB apps should also know about namespaces now as well.

  • Exceeded 275,000 titles Ahasuerus 09:03, 25 Feb 2008 (CST)

  • Editing is now back online. Alvonruff 18:52, 20 Feb 2008 (CST)

What's New - 17 February 2008

  • ISBN searching is now available from the main navigation bar. Alvonruff 06:48, 17 Feb 2008 (CST)

What's New - 15 February 2008

  • Since Advanced Search is still hopelessly messed up (until it's redone), publisher searching is now available from the main navigation bar, and some new publisher bibliography pages are also available.
  • Awards editing functionality is now operational, although the navigation bar links only show up for myself at present. I plan on taking the tools on a shakedown cruise for a couple of weeks before turning the links on for everyone. Should happen around the end of the month.
  • Will start working on publisher bibliographies and editing tools next. Alvonruff 21:26, 15 Feb 2008 (CST)
