MusicBrainz Server update, 2024-06-24

You may notice some exciting changes to event pages today. We’ll be making a proper announcement of the “EAA” in a separate post soon. 🙂

We have several other bug fixes and improvements as part of today’s release, plus a new report about video recordings for editors.

In the back-end, we’re making better use of our PostgreSQL standby, which should help with scalability. Development-wise, we’ve done a lot of JavaScript refactoring and upgrading of dependencies.

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