Today we deployed a patch that made the following changes:
- - The previous / next links on threads are now disabled. This feature is cpu-intensive and was credited with causing a number of recent node crashes, so it has been disabled to increase system stability.
- - The "Who's Online" feature is now disabled for the same reason. The address book function in private messaging relies on this feature and was also disabled.
- - User authentication calls were optimized for performance.
- - Email notifications were fixed. There had been an issue where some email notifications were not sent.
There was no downtime associated with this patch.
