MusicBrainz Server update, 2020-10-19

Today’s MusicBrainz Server brings a new data report, a continued conversion to React, some bugfixes and small improvements, but also tests refactoring.

Meanwhile, the search server has been updated twice in a row to fix bugs in JSON output mostly with MB Solr 3.2 (release notes) and MB Solr 3.3 (release notes), including the MusicBrainz API breaking change announced last month.

A new release of MusicBrainz Docker is also available that matches this update of MusicBrainz Server. See the release notes for update instructions.
