Progress Report + Change of Download Provider
🕑 Added 2021-07-23 15:41:02 +0000 UTCHowdy Patrons,
Just a quick check in to let you know how things are going, and to let you know that we're moving away from MEGA for our file hosting. It seemed that problems were only becoming more frequent as time went along and MEGA had always been intended as a temporary solution anyway.
I spent a lot of time shopping around, hoping to find a provider through which an autopatcher would be possible, only to find that to get it the way I want it, I'd pretty much have to build it myself. There's no service out there that quite does what I need. It's something I'll continue to investigate, however after trying countless providers over the last couple of days, I've decided that we'll start by shifting Sileo's downloads to Dropbox Transfer effective immediately. I've updated the download links for 0.30.1 already, take note of the password - you'll need that to get inside!
Be sure to let me know how you find Dropbox Transfer as a download provider. It has a few nice bells and whistles that most other providers don't and the price isn't too bad considering! Hopefully it works well for everybody and we won't be shifting to another provider in the near future!
So beyond download providers and what not, I've been diving my time between technical work and Day 16. There's not enough time to feasibly finish Day 16 in the time we had left after 0.30 released, so I'm only doing the first half of the day while doing some technical work on the side. Although I've perhaps been focusing on the wrong technical work... and by that I mean Beth's incredible talent for remembering names has only improved substantially since 0.30 released! I've made a few other nice improvements too, and Day 16 is coming along nicely so far. I don't see any reason why we won't release on time with this next update (FAMOUS LAST WORDS).
Anyway, there's not much else to report than that right now. Just wanted to check in and let you guys know what was happening and where we're up to!
