Update: The maintenance was a success, we were down for only 4 minutes.

Today, we are happy to announce the 1.0 release of two new Gems for the Ruby community.

If you are not using a storage Robot, because you have a setup where you prefer to manually fetch our result files from our temporary URLs, here is some good news:

The last few days have been crazy. As of today, we have processed 300.000 uploads, up from 250.000 only 7 days ago (!).

As some of you have noticed already - we have just launched a new design, which will hopefully enrich the browsing experience on our website!

We have some good news for people using CDNs or bucket names that are not well-formed. As of today, we are supporting a new parameter called url_prefix for our /s3/store Robot.

We have a new parameter for the /image/resize Robot. It is called frame and allows you to select a specific frame to use for the operation when you are dealing with animated GIF files.

Amazon S3 is great. Except when it isn't. When you are using it a lot - we have stored around one million customer objects so far - you begin to see some odd things that look more like "eventual madness" than "eventual consistency".

While most of our uploads successfully complete their journey across the world wide web, sometimes one can get lost along the way.

Today we are making the /image/resize Robot's zoom parameter public. Up until now it was an undocumented parameter called "dont_zoom" with a default value of "false" that only few knew about. We decided it makes more sense to make it public now so everyone can profit. It is now called "zoom" and has a default value of "true" - so everybody who used it so far, please change your Templates accordingly.
