What the status page measures

We rebuilt the status page around real measurements from each zone: response time and free space, read live when you open it. Everything older than today is marked as archive. It is a small honesty we wanted: the number you see is the number the zone just reported, not a decoration.

Slow file listing after a cache restart

On 3 November the workspace was slow to list files for about twenty minutes after a cache server restarted cold. The API itself was fine; only the browser listing dragged while the cache warmed. We now warm the cache before an instance takes traffic.

We have moved to a new address

Velravio now lives at this domain. The old address will redirect for a while and then retire. Everything else is unchanged: same zones, same accounts, same files, same API. We moved the whole blog and changelog across and kept every post's original date, so if you are reading an old entry below, it really is as old as it says. Your bookmarks to zone hosts and /api/v1 keep working.

Five years of the same file

The oldest file still in Frankfurt was uploaded on 11 May 2021. We downloaded it this week and its SHA-256 is exactly what it was five years ago. That is the entire promise of the product in one sentence, so we are allowed one sentimental post about it.

A share link can now carry an access code. The person has to type it before the download starts, and we store the code only as a hash. Useful when the link travels further than you meant it to.

Zurich zone

Zurich is open. Twelve zones. Switzerland came up often enough in the contact form that it was time.
