In order to bring API 0.6 live and to port the database to the new server, API 0.5 “will go into Read Only mode at 10:00am BST (9:00 UTC) Friday 17th April”. More details can be found in the OSM Wiki. Hopefully, API 0.6 will be up and running (including the usual hiccups) after the weekend. Remember to update your editors. Thanks a bunch BTW for the hard work of all people who are involved!
