October

We completely changed our build process, moving away from Travis to Microsoft's Azure Pipelines. This fixed a long-standing problem that was causing site updates to fail roughly 50% of the time. It took a lot of engineering work, but as of today, the last 11 day's updates have completed successfully on first attempt. Previously we were wasting a lot of time manually restarting builds every day. Now that everything looks stable we can focus on moving forward again. Work has begun preparing the server installation for the dynamic site planed to launch next year. It's a long way off yet, but please look forward to it!
