We’re back with another small release which mostly fixes a few bugs and adds support for more types of URLs (including some for streaming podcasts).
Additionally, starting from this release, an alias cannot be both marked as ended and as primary for its locale. Since the primary flag is supposed to represent the most appropriate alias to use, it should only be used for current aliases anyway, so setting an alias as ended will unset the primary flag. A one-off script was run to unset the currently set primary flags on ended aliases.
A new release of MusicBrainz Docker is also available that matches this update of MusicBrainz Server. See the release notes for update instructions.
For mirror owners, after last month’s search upgrade, the transition period to switch to Solr 9 will come to an end by the end of the week. That is, the latest Solr 7 search index dumps will be made available on Saturday, 28 June 2025. After that, only the Solr 9 collection backups will be updated.
