Server update, 2013-07-08

We’ve just finished deploying the latest version of MusicBrainz on our servers. This release is again primarily a bug fix release, but as always we’ve got a couple of improvements in added too. Thanks to Michael Wiencek, Nicolás Tamargo, nikki and the MusicBrainz team for all their work on this release! Here’s a list of what’s changed:

Bug

• [MBS-5892] – Make wikidocs links always go to the server the user is on

• [MBS-6020] – Work types in the relationship editor still don’t sort alphabetically
• [MBS-6272] – Countries are no longer linked in the release sidebar
• [MBS-6325] – Moving a release with a release date into an empty release group does not provide it with a date (sorting doesn’t work)

• [MBS-6384] – Internal server error looking up a disc ID in the JSON webservice

• [MBS-6440] – Opening filter fails due to syntax error
• [MBS-6485] – Blocking of /ws/1 URLs should be done in MusicBrainz-Server, not nginx config
