They didn't make a change, exactly. It looks more like a script problem on their end. The RC5-72
summary page has not updated since May 15. The other pages we use for data (
platform stats,
Team MacNN page) all show May 18 as of this post.
We use the different update tags for error checking. If the tags aren't in close agreement, it means server problems on their end, or that a stats update is in progress. In either case, the safest answer is to abort our stats run and let them finish whatever they are doing. Our stats will try again an hour or three later.
The project summary page is doubtless finished last, after all project data has been processed for the day. So something is preventing their processing script from finishing in the normal way.
I could hack around it by disabling our error checks, but the data really is faulty (a frozen page) and turning off error checking isn't such a good idea. Instead, I'll leave our scripts alone for a few more days, see if dnetc fixes the problem on their end. Once they fix it, our scripts should start right up again - but cross your fingers, and yell if our stats don't resume.
