Project web service changes for your projects

["SourceForge.net Team" <http://www.sourceforge.net/~noreply>]

Hello,

We are pleased to announce the rollout of our updated project web
service to all projects.  This rollout has been undertaken on an
expedited basis to make security improvements available for this
service and was announced to our blog at the start of our incident
response.

Full details are in our site docs at: http://tinyurl.com/sfprweb

This updated service has been tested over the past few months and
provides substantial improvements:

* File access is now per-project when file perms are set properly,
allowing you to safeguard database passwords and other confidential
data.
* Directory space is now writable by your app code, eliminating the
need to use our old /home/persistent space.
* Web logs are available (IPs are obfuscated).
* Updated PHP, Python, Perl, etc.
* Outbound email is permitted via authenticated SMTP service (password
is per-project).

Your applications may need updates to work under new PHP (5.3 has some
changes) and optimally with our new file permissions model.  Please
review the documentation provided above and contact us at
http://www.geek.net/~sfnet_ops if you have any questions.

Rollout will commence today (Wednesday) with 'a' projects, continuing
through the alphabet until all migrations are complete.  For further
progress information, please watch our blog at:

Thank you,

The SourceForge.net Team
