Gandi has moved to v3.0.5
By Ryan on Wednesday 30 June 2010, 23:02 - Gandi - Permalink
5 new versions since January's 3.0.0, with a many improvements and corrections between each one - onwards and upwards 
We would like to use this entry to discuss a rather large upgrade of our system. This one is a bit unusual in that you will not see the majority of the work that we did as cool new interfaces or features. Rather, this version was mainly dedicated to the backend, which was improved and enhanced so that we can do many new things later on, but which will also have an immediate impact on the quality of our service.
Why discuss it then? Well, to be honest, because the changes that we performed were quite significant, and so despite the many hours of testing that we have performed over the past few days, it is not impossible that some bugs exist under special circumstances. We would therefore like to mention this, and ask that you let us know of the slightest problem that you encounter.
Otherwise, you will notice that we have redone the Orders in Progress page, which now lists your orders by product category. This interface will soon be improved and will provide an even greater level of detail, enabling you to watch the state of your order and the actions that are being performed in real time. Note however that the T-shirt orders have been left out of this page for the time being. This is intentional, but don't worry, we are watching them
And since we are talking about T-shirts, you may have noticed the presence of the new T-shirt model (the former were nearly all exhausted) which is currently available.
Finally, we have added a new page to our website: promo codes. You can now go to this interface (which is automatically updated depending on your eligibility with regards to active promos) to get promo cods that you can use at Gandi.net. For example, there is currently a .ORG promo underway: if you have a .COM or .ORG for which the .ORG is available for creation, you will therefore see a promo code that you can use to purchase the .ORG for 66% off the regular price!
And don't worry, other promos will follow this summer

What I would like to see in Gandi is improvement in the VPS performance and price drops.
It's good to see that you guys are improving the website and the control panel.
The VPS performance is really low and way too expensive compared to other VPS companies out there. (I had a VPS at gandi. Just could not use for more than a few days, hated it.)
The Fact it's in France I understand the higher price. Although not a reason for me to pay 5-6 times more than a same spec VPS in the US.
don't know if it's related to this upgrade, but on Solaris default web browser, i can no longer log into my account to add more domains, cannot read the help for login problems, etc.
why would Gandi force users to go to a laptop or other temporary connection instead of logging in from a unix workstation?
ron: When speaking about the Solaris default web browser, are you talking about Firefox 3.1 ?
