For your Cyber Monday here is a free release of convenient improvements and bugfixes. It adds www.metalmusicarchives.com to the allowed other databases. It also paves the way for improvements in instrument search.
A new release of MusicBrainz Docker is also available that matches this update of MusicBrainz Server. See the release notes for update instructions.
