Service Unavailable Tuesday September 20, 11PM (EST) till Wednesday September 21, 11PM (EST) due to Server Migration and Software Update.
The Service will be unavailable bettween Tuesday the 20th 11 PM (EST) and Wednesday the 21st 11PM (EST) while we migrate to a new server, the DNS gets updated and we upgrade to version 3.2.8 of the Service. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
We will be sending a service Email and we will add a Notice to the Homepage in the next few hours.
What´s new on the next version.
- The whole Application has been moved to UTF-8.
- TTIWBot Version 0.3 which:
- Is Faster, Leaner, Full Object Oriented Code (Version 0.2 was just a proof of concept version).
- Has all of it´s old Bugs fixed including the Base problem and the strange characters one (now we´ll have to fix the new ones!).
- Has become Context aware for certain things (I won´t explain this cause it´s quite complex, just test it on some international sites and you´ll see).
- Has better handling of Redirects and Error pages (The HTTP handling has been highly improved).
- Translates all data to UTF-8 (The data that that we use. Some charsets are not supported though, but all the common ones for all languages are (except ISCII which I couldn´t find a translation table and it´s on our todo list.)).
- Find if a Site uses Frames on it´s own (Old versions found this from the Bookmarlet, which was not reliable at all).
- Is more customizable for Picking up info from sites (You´ll see), and it´s easier to write the deffiles for new sites.
- Accesses Amazon through Rest instead of SOAP which is way faster.
- A better Tag sintax. You´ll have more freedom when writing Tags (you´ll be able to use "'" and "-", and UTF-8 characters for example) and yet it will get normalized when it´s stored in the database (We went for a Signifiant, Signifié approach (with my appologies to Saussure)). And also different levels of tags for tags with multiple names (the phoneme approach.. hmmm, actually morpheme approach (more, and more appologies to Saussure)) though this last bit will not be noticeable on this version, which is about normalizing the DB. (We continue with the Official Motto of versions 3.2: "Things will become clear as we move along".)
- A simple yet easy way to deactivate from the service (I will add this tonight to current version, so that if you receive the email and you haven´t used the service in some time and want to deactivate, you´ll be able to do so after you recieve the email (Which will only be sent to Users that have choosed to accept Service Emails, of course.)).
- A better URL Scheme. I´ll write a full explanation of this tomorrow. ( We have made sure that your old links will still work, even though we´ll prefer if you use the new ones from now on.)
- A simple way for Small Sites to Add the Service to their Sites.
- Some Bug fixes through data normalization (The Order by Name issue). And a lot more Data Normalization that I won´t explain here because it´s trully geeky.
Well that´s pretty much it, hope you like the new version!!! And now we will concentrate on the GUI as promised!!! Sorry for all the delays!!
