- 2023 July 28th 'The project development has been ongoing on a daily basis, although the result is not immediately apparent within the website.
The early architecture of the source code was not scalable, so a lot of development time has been spent on creating the API version 1,
which is better suited to the nature of this project.
The API 1 is now operational and almost stable.
Each existing page must individually be upgraded from API 0 to API 1.
A specially crafted upgrade script helps with the process. There are over 80 pages left to upgrade.
Once the whole website has been migrated to API 1, more time will be spent on developing the actual content of the website.
