Resolved - From 13:09 - 14:48 UTC, we experienced an issue with IPv6 network connectivity in our SFO3 region. Our Engineering team was able to identify the root cause, revert changes, and resolve the issue.

During that time, connectivity via IPv6 to services in SFO3 was impacted. This included, in particular, connectivity to and provisioning of Load Balancers, control plane connectivity to Kubernetes clusters, and connectivity to App Platform Apps.

If you continue to experience problems, please open a ticket with our support team. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Jan 7, 15:51 UTC
Monitoring - Our engineering team has implemented a fix to resolve the networking issue in our SFO3 region. Users should no longer encounter connectivity issues, provisioning Load Balancers, latency, and timeout errors while interacting with resources in the SFO3 region.

We will post an update as soon as the issue is fully resolved.

Jan 7, 14:47 UTC
Update - Our Engineering team is continuing to investigate the cause of the issue with networking in our SFO3 region and is taking action to mitigate this incident by reverting recent changes. In addition to connectivity issues, users may see failures with provisioning Load Balancers in SFO3.

We are seeing some services recover, but expect to see a few more short periods of network connectivity issues as the reverts progress.

We will continue to share updates as soon as we have new information.

Jan 7, 13:35 UTC
Investigating - Our engineering team is investigating an issue related to the SFO3 network maintenance here: https://status.digitalocean.com/incidents/lf0njg8ysj0w

During this time users may experience connectivity issues, latency, and timeout errors while interacting with resources in the SFO3 data center.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will share an update once we have more information.

Jan 7, 10:00 UTC
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.

Jan 5, 10:15 UTC
Scheduled - Start: 2025-01-07 10:00 UTC
End: 2025-01-07 14:00 UTC

During the above window, our Networking team will be making changes to core networking infrastructure, to improve performance and scalability in the SFO3 region.

Expected impact:

These upgrades are designed and tested to be seamless and we do not expect any impact to customer traffic due to this maintenance. If an unexpected issue arises, affected Droplets and Droplet-based services may experience increased latency or a brief disruption in network traffic. We will endeavor to keep any such impact to a minimum.

If you have any questions related to this issue please send us a ticket from your cloud support page. https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket

• Milestone

In this release, the coding focus has been on moving to PHP 8.1+ and refactoring the integration of the SimplePie library (which was long due). At the same time, plenty of new features have been added. Enjoy! 🎄

Breaking changes 💥:

• Require PHP 8.1+ (and improved support of PHP 8.4+)
• Require PostgreSQL 10+ or MariaDB 10.0.5+ or MySQL 8+

A few highlights ✨:

• Add support for regex search (regular expressions)
  • ⚠️ Advanced regex syntax for searches depends on the database used (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL),
    but FreshRSS filter actions such as auto-mark-as-read and auto-favourite always use PHP PCRE2 syntax.
• Allow dynamic search operator in user queries, like search:UserQueryA date:P1d
• New feed mode HTML+XPath+JSON dot notation (JSON in HTML)
• Better HTTP compliance with support for HTTP response headers Cache-Control: max-age and Expires
• New unicity policies and heuristic for feeds with bad article IDs (reduce the problem of duplicated articles)
• New option to automatically mark new articles as read if an identical title already exists in the same category
• Add ability to remove content from articles with CSS selectors, also when not using full content
• New condition option to selectively retrieve full content of articles
• New UI feature to download a user’ SQLite database or a database SQLite export (to be produced by CLI)
• Supported by Capy Reader (Android, open source)
• Many bug fixes, UI improvements, and a lot more
