MusicBrainz Server update, 2019-08-08

This summery release brings one main new feature: collaborative collections! As an editor, you can now share your collections with others. This is mainly intended for community projects, but it can also be a good way to, say, have a shared “Music we have at home” collection with your family, or collect artists with funny names with your friends. You decide how to use it!

To add collaborators to your collections, edit the collection and enter the editors you’d want as collaborators in the appropriate section (suggestion: ask first whether they’re interested, then add them!). Once they’ve been added as collaborators, they’ll be able to add and remove entities from the collection in the same way as you, but they won’t be able to change the title / description: that’s still only for the collection owner to change.

CDs collection shared as a cloak for everyone to see

The release also comes with a bunch of small improvements and bug fixes, including a couple about collections, and continues migrating to React.

Thanks to Ge0rg3 and sothotalker for their contributed code. Also, thanks to chaban, chiark, cyberskull, Dmitry, hibiscuskazeneko, jesus2099, Lotheric, mfmeulenbelt, psychoadept and everyone who tested the beta version, reported issues, or updated the website translations.

Server update, 2018-11-01

This release includes a first implementation of genres – expect more information as a blog post in the following days. The search results page has been converted to React for every type of search except the edit search, which is implemented separately. The homepage, the ISWC page and the sidebars have been converted too. Additionally, the password hashes have been strengthened, external URL handlers have been updated as usual, and ten bugs have been fixed. Thanks to issue reporters chirlu, darwinx0r, jesus2099, hibiscuskazeneko, ravenworks, spellew, yeeeargh, and zastai for their input.  The git tag is v-2018-11-01.
