READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU SEND ANY MAIL:
the next Toolserver account renewal is on 1st June. if you want to keep using
your Toolserver account, you need to renew it before then, or it will expire
and you will not be able to log in.
to renew your account, do the following:
send mail to river(a)loreley.flyingparchment.org.uk
in the subject, you must write "toolserver expiration".
in the body, you must write your Toolserver username.
that is all.
do not send mail to this mailing list. do not send mail to ts-admins@. do not
do anything except follow the very clear and specific instructions presented
above. if you fail to perform this simple task correctly, you might find
yourself ignored, and your account will expire.
in one week, i will post a list of usernames who have successfully renewed
their accounts. you should check that your name is on this list; if not, your
mail may have been lost somewhere.

hi,
currently the stable server (willow) is running SJS Web Server. we will
shortly be converting it to Zeus Web Server. this will bring the functionality
in line with the normal Toolserver (allowing user-configurable rewrite rules
and better .htaccess support) as well as improving performance and reliability.
the new web server is running at http://stable.toolserver.org:81/. please test
that your project works correctly, and then let me know. once all projects
have been tested, we will switch the server over.
this applies to the following projects:
* geohack
* delinker
* admstats
* wmfgcbot
* acc
* poty
* nubio
if your project needs rewrite rules, which are currently configured in the web
server, you should create a rewrite script in $HOME instead. this is
documented in the ZWS manual at [1] and also on the wiki at [2].

hi,
i am currently evaluating some possible changes to the Toolserver. to this
end, there is now a 'test Toolserver', vandale.toolserver.org, which is running
FreeBSD instead of Linux.
if you have a moment, please log in and test some of your tools there. if you
find something that doesn't work right, missing software, etc., file a bug in
the 'vandale' component of the Toolserver project on JIRA. i would be
particularly interested in tools that use Java or Mono (.NET).
as this is a test server, feel free to test things there; we don't mind if you
break something, since the point of the test is to identify problems. the flip
side of this is lower reliability; you might find the server is rebooted more
often, or your processes killed, etc.
this is not a permanent new server, and will be going away at some point after
testing is finished.

hi,
at ~01:45 UTC, nightshade was rebooted.
unrelatedly, due to a configuration error on the mail server, some
toolserver.org mail may have been bounced during a period of several hours
before 01:00 UTC.
