Quail will be down – for clerks, vendors, and store owners – on June 19th and 20th from 12:00pm — 3:30am EDT (9pm — 12:30pm PDT). We’re scheduling this for the darkest, calmest hour of the night – are you really selling anything at three o’clock in the morning? – to try and minimize the annoyance of having Quail offline, but if you’re affected by these hours let us know and we’ll see what we can do. We’re doing it for two nights in a row so that we can do a practice run on the 19th to try and work out any kinks along the way. ‘Measure twice, cut once’ — words to live by.

This is the first scheduled maintenance we’ve had in 7+ years, and turning everything off for a few hours will let us make some major speed & security upgrades to all the cloud service-y parts of Quail. While these upgrades aren’t that exciting in and of themselves, we’re looking forward to the things they’ll let us do: improved notifications, more flexible weekly emails, and – perhaps most importantly – faster email & phone support.

See you on the other side,

– Trevor & Chris
