MusicBrainz Server update, 2020-06-15

Today’s release focuses on stability with almost half of changes being bugfixes. It also provides a fair number of small improvements and new features. On a side note, the third party affiliated Magic Tagger is now known as AudioRanger.

A new release of MusicBrainz Docker is also available that matches this update of MusicBrainz Server and to fix a few issues in both standard setup and development setup. See the release notes for update instructions.
