ltgc.cc may experience some downtime, as we're slowly updating software on our core infrastructure located in Germany. We'll post announcements once we've finished updating it. We apologize for any inconvenience we may cause in advance.

Due to recent faulty Caddy 2.7.x updates, we are experiencing network-wide downtimes. We are currently downgrading Caddy back to 2.6.4, before the Caddy team can fix all problems causing problems on load balancing and duplex communications.

Documentation of Octavia and WingBlade has been merged into our master documentation.

PonyTrails is now defunct. For ready-made custom Linux images, please refer to Gel for servers and Iceflakes for desktops/laptops.

Our main infrastructure at ltgc.cc has crashed. We are diagnosing the possible causes, and are working on the fix.

This was caused by the recent Caddy update (2.7.2). Nothing is wrong with Caddy itself, but the Systemd unit file it bundled with crashed our existing setup. It is now fixed.

More than 2 days ago, it came to our knowledge that some of our repos have their releases all reverted to drafts for unknown reasons. We tried to contact GitHub, but to no avail.
As some releases of our projects are rather essential to us, we are seeking to publish releases also elsewhere from now on. The most vital ones will have their releases be duplicated to Codeberg soon.
Our operations have been hindered once again, and we cannot afford yet another paralysis.

We're excited to announce that Lightingale Community has been officially accepted into the Fastly Fast Forward program, and is now sponsored by Fastly! We'd like to express our appreciation to Fastly for this generous offer.

Octavia version 0.5 pre 2, or 0.5 release candidate 1 will be released within the next 2 days.
Version 0.5 comes with a lot of rather complex new features, justifying its development for over seven months. Support for MIDI routing is not among the new features, as its correct baseline implementation requires some massive changes under the hood, which may or may not hinder performance vastly.
