We believe we have developed a sustainable solution to combat the recent DDOS attacks. While you may still see intermittent "The service is unavailable" errors during an attack, the turnaround to the servers becoming stable again should be much improved. Thank you again to everyone for your patience and support.

Entity Comparisons (usually visible by going through the API Update Tracker or clicking on one of the MODIFIED dates on an item) may fail on certain nodes as a result of the current attack mitigation strategy. If you run into a 404 Not Found error while attempting to hit one of these pages (should end in CompareEntityVersions), please try again later.
