Our first release of the new year is out today, containing the usual set of editing bug fixes and improvements. There’s also a small new feature in the release editor that allows propagating the release title and artist credit to the release group.
Anyone experiencing failures in InitDb.pl after upgrading DBD::Pg to version 3.5.0 will want to get this update, since it contains a workaround.
Thanks very much to chirlu, navap, nikki, and the MetaBrainz team for their work on today’s release.
