It was offline for approximately 45 minutes (and it was mostly due to<br>
a weird problem that took a while to figure out).<br>
<br>
The main motivation for the upgrade was installing OpenID to enable<br>
single-sign-on across all the web applications. Secondarily, it's<br>
always safer to keep web applications up to date. I also did a few<br>
cleanups to ensure the next updates will be a little easier.<br>
