img.shields.io is very unstable recently

[mnovozhylov]

we are using https://img.shields.io/github/release/*/*.svg badgets, and recently badgets are unavailable - right now it either "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE" or "Application Error: An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.", in github repository it looks like ugly img-not-found

please, take a look

p.s. posting here, as far as i see many similar requests in this repository

Thanks for voicing your concerns. We are going to switch servers to better respond to the load: #459.

@hannesvdvreken Thank you a lot for reporting this. We have switched servers recently, and there are rough edges. In that case, I believe the server might not be registering the GitHub API keys? I'll investigate.

[hannesvdvreken]

I think that's what's currently happening. The version badge works only from time to time. Possibly it's not cached and the GitHub API limit is hit.

The following issue correponds better to this issue: #529.
