Hey! Sorry we haven't communicated well about this (that's my fault, I'm the new-ish CEO at Fog Creek). I'll write a full blog post about this, but here's the story:
* We are moving to a paid model for Kiln overall; it's gotten a bit more expensive to run the service, especially as it's the last real Mercurial host, and we wanted to do right by our paying customers.
* While getting ready for the transition, we screwed up with a few users in handling people who got free Kiln accounts with FogBugz. It sounds like you fall into that group, and you should have heard from our support team with an update to correct this. I'm sorry we got it wrong and we'll make sure you get access back if that's the case.
* We are thinking through how to better explain the way our tools like FogBugz and Kiln work together, so we've started marketing Kiln as "Dev Hub" because it's easier for people to understand if they're familiar with other version control tools.
We aren't going to kill of Kiln, what we're working to do right now is make sure it's a stable and sustainable business, and then based on what our customers tell us, we'll be deciding how much to invest in modernizing and expanding the platform.
Sorry that we didn't clearly communicate this in advance — I'll make sure that doesn't happen again for these kinds of changes.
- stephenr 10y ago> last real Mercurial host, I'm pretty sure the bitbucket team would disagree there.
- aeorgnoieang 10y agoThanks for the reply! Your support team definitely helped me out and restored (my access to) my account.
