Pivot 1.40.8 released.

We've just released Pivot 1.40.8. This will likely be the last version of Pivot, which is provided as a means of ongoing support. Currently we are not aware of any security related issues, and no new functionality will be added to Pivot 1.40 anymore. Of course, we recommend upgrading to PivotX, for all the added and improved features it offers.

This maintenance release contains some smaller changes and fixes, one of which is security-related. So, this is a recommended upgrade for all users of Pivot 1.40.x. For instructions on how to install or upgrade, please see the details after the jump.

PS! We have discovered a minor issue with regards to deleting entries from the overview screen. You'll find a fix in the forum.

Besides a clean and transparent codebase and tons of new features, there's also a new administration interface. So, it's a pleasure to show you the first screenshots of what it will look like.

Scheduled Site Outage

The data center where pivotlog.net is hosted has just made us aware that a scheduled power outage is currently planned for Sunday, February 25, 2007 at 00:01 PST (08:01 GMT) and is expected to last three hours. The downtime is due to a total power shutdown in the building housing the data center required to make repairs to a Phase C Conductor Cable on one of the UPS units as it has been compromised to the point that immediate action to repair it is necessary or a ground fault will occur to the building systems.

All website and email services will be affected during this time. We apologize for an inconvenience this outage may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Update: The scheduled maintenance has been completed. Thank you for your patience.
