## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2016-10-18 20:56 UTC: Today we replaced skimdb.npmjs.com, the server that provides a public replication endpoint for un-scoped npm packages. The new server is running on new hardware, which should help solve stability issues that we have seen over the past several weeks. Users consuming the CouchDB \_changes feed should reset their sequence number.
