Pony 0.33.0 has been released. See the release notes for full details. Lots going on, you’ll have to check the notes to get the full scoop.

The Pony Playground is still offline. Paul who has been hosting it for the last couple of years has been away and the machine it runs on is completely offline.

We are working on arranging hosting that multiple team members will have full access to. Once we get that (we are talking to a couple of different providers about getting free hosting), then we will set up a new playground. By having multiple people have full account access, we hope to avoid this situation in the future. Previously, because Sean and Joe had root access to the playground, they could fix any issues. They can’t this time because the machine appears to be completely offline or at least, completely locked up as no remote access is possible.

We’d like to thank Paul for donating hosting for the last couple of years. It’s been a huge boon to the community and he was awesome to step up not only with hosting for the playground but, getting it set up and doing regular maintenance.
