Just an update on the situation...

I'm making a few changes to the way the web site provides data to EVEMon and other clients. Instead of one huge XML file that contains all of the data which you can hit hourly, it's being broken down into two (for now, more later?) files with their own access times. One file is big and has all of the data but will have an access limit of 6-12 hours. The other file is really easy for us to generate and shows the current skill in training and can be accessed much more often.

I'm also implementing the ability for us to ramp up the traffic so we can ensure that we don't get a deluge as soon as the feature is enabled. For example, during the first hour 5% of users will find that their third party tools are functioning again. The next hour, 10% work. Over the following 24 hour period this will gradually ramp up to 100% at which point everybody will be working again.

This means that everybody who uses EVEMon and similar tools will likely have to upgrade as soon as they've released a new version compatible with the above changes. If you do not upgrade, you will find that the application will not be able to detect skill changes more often than once every 6-12 hours.

This is all scheduled to happen Monday. The programming changes from my side are just about done and I'm testing them now. I've also been working with the EVEMon team to make sure they have all of the information they need before the changes are made so they can try to stay ahead of the curve.

In case your eyes crossed reading the above...

We're still on track to have this functionality enabled again on Monday. You will probably have to update your third party tools to a new version in order to work optimally, though.
