The resolved issues section of the release notes is mysteriously empty including this note, “This section will be updated on or before December 22, 2011.”

As always I suggest you review the release notes for yourself.

Cheers!

We’re IPv6 ready and accessible!

The server that hosts this site is now IPv6 ready and accessible.

I’m not sure how many users are potentially using IPv6, but I was doing some research regarding securing an IP v6 allocation from ARIN (American Registry of Internet Numbers) and decided to enable IPv6 on my own personal server.

I must admit the majority of the work was completed by our hosting provider Linode. I only had to make a few small CentOS Linux configuration changes and we were up and running.

Anyone else IPv6 ready on their public Internet facing servers?

Cheers!
