Read more →The EVE-Central API service was refactored on top of a new framework, both as an aid to scale (for performance reasons), and an exercise in using new tools for web development. Except for a few growing pains, the stack has been reliable…

Read more →A new version of Contribtastic, the 100% open source cache reading uploader, is now available. If you’ve been hit with the data.pickle corruption bug from previous versions, this is an essential upgrade.
