Hello to all,

Quick update to keep you informed of the latest developments.

Due to the explosive growth of the platform in the last few months, the available time has been mostly allocated to scalability and infrastructure optimization.
Most of the servers have now been migrated to our own datacenter space. Each server offers 10gbps of bandwidth. There are still a few servers that are still with with third party providers offering lower quality bandwidth. They are in the process of being migrated.

The load balancing algorithm and the database have been adapted to absorb these millions of new visits.

Other than that, here is a non-exhaustive list of recent changes: 

- The weight of the web application has been considerably reduced and optimized offering a faster loading.

- A bug has been fixed concerning the bulk download feature. Indeed, when too many files were selected, the browser refused to send the request to the server. This is now fixed.

- A long-standing bug that prevented the video player from being set to full screen has also been fixed.

- The direct link feature used by developers and content providers will be redone very soon and the links will have to be modified on your side for those who use them. A separate communication will be made by email to those using this feature.

When the traffic will be stabilized and the new infrastructure will be finished, the development of new features will resume.

Thank you for your support and see you soon!
