This release brings many changes, including single instance mode, new scripting variables, ID3v2.4 by default, new macOS icon and more. More details below.
Continue reading “Picard 2.9 released”23 years is a quite a long time and I had never thought that this little project I was starting in 2000, would grow into what it is today — it has been an amazing journey with many ups and downs.

With that in mind, I feel compelled to tell a story of where the name MusicBrainz came from and how July 17, 2000 was the first day that the name has ever been uttered and the domain was registered seconds later.

Thanks again to our friends at Byta for working on this series with us!
This release makes a few small changes, including an updated set of basic edit icons that hopefully will be the start of a consistent icon set for MusicBrainz. Additionally, and sadly, opening voting for new editors has caused the creation of way too many sock-puppet accounts, so we have been forced to restrict voting for beginner editors again. Hopefully the two week wait is not too long; we’ll look into ways to improve beginners’ experience without helping bad actors in the future.
A new release of MusicBrainz Docker is also available that matches this update of MusicBrainz Server. See the release notes for update instructions.
Thanks to all others who tested the beta version!
