Hi Shauny! Apple asked us recently to add IAP. We agreed to add it, and it was already on our longer term roadmap. We have always believed in meeting our users where they want to be, and more and more people are going mobile-only. It’s expected in our next major release.
We are seeing continued DDoS attacks. We have a number of mitigations in place to minimise the attack’s effects. Some customers might see a degradation of services.
We're delighted to announce that our support for secure websites hosted with FastMail is now live!
