MusicBrainz Server update, 2020-04-27

A large variety of issue types have been addressed in today’s release!

As a new feature, search indexes are now dumped and made available along with database dumps under the FTP directory search-indexes. They are mainly intended to be loaded on a MusicBrainz slave server to start a mirror with search.

Among improvements, a noticeable one is to lighten the area’s overview page that was heavily crowded with all sorts of relationships that have been scattered over more specific tabs.

As for bugfixes, the major one secures user/admin forms against CSRF attacks.

Thanks to atj for contributing code to support Traxsource URLs. Thanks to alex_s7, chaban, danbloo, Lotheric, murdos, Skeebadoo for reporting issues. Thanks to kellnerd, Jormangeud, mfmeulenbelt, salorock for updating the translations in German, Finnish, Dutch, Italian, respectively. And thanks to all others who tested the beta version!

The git tag is v-2020-04-27.
