As many of you may know, we've been having problems with the muug.ca mirror server for a couple of months. We've been working hard to get it working (mostly Adam!) at a reasonable level, and we're getting close.

It's probably at the stage people can use it as their mirror again and performance should be reasonable. It should get better as we keep tweaking it. A new big NVMe ZFS cache is really helping to ameliorate our biggest bottlenecks.

We've also upgraded the OS and this required a newer PHP version. Due to certain libraries being unsupported in the new PHP, some code had to be rewritten and as a result the paypal MUUG renewal links sent out via email prior to today will no longer function. If you are up for renewal, you will receive another email in a few weeks with a new renewal link which will work correctly. If you want to renew with paypal before that time, feel free to email board@muug.ca and we can manually email you a link right away.

Also, some bugs may remain after our big PHP change, so if you see any errors or even warnings, please email board@muug.ca so we can fix them right away!

Thanks!
