We’re going to start our schema change release process today at 17h UTC.
We anticipate having a short downtime of a few minutes as we”ll need to restart our database server. As usual, we’re not certain when we will start the downtime, but we’ll keep people posted about our progress in IRC and on Twitter.
Once we’re done with the release we will post instructions on this blog on how to upgrade any replicated instances of MusicBrainz you might be running.
Stay tuned!
This release brings feature parity with the pre-NGS edit search, thanks to work by yvanzo.
Note: The “My Vote” search condition has been replaced by “Voter,” with sub-condition “is me.”
The git tag is v-2017-04-10.
The ability of normal users to auto-edit their own release additions within an hour of entering them has been expanded to all entity types, not just releases. There’s also a new feature in the relationship editor dialog to control which relationship credits you’re changing. Thanks to yvanzo for working on those tickets.
We’ve also resolved some more URL cleanup/detection tickets, and fixed a bug in the release editor causing stub releases to get created. Zastai fixed our web service to respect the Accept: header for search requests (thanks!).
The git tag is v-2017-03-27 and the complete changelog is below.
Thanks to legoktm, loujin, reosarevok, Zastai, and the volunteer formerly known as yvanz for their contributions, which are listed below. The git tag is v-2017-03-13. (Apologies that the release came a day late.)
We have picked our set of tickets and the date for our May 2017 schema change release: May, 15th 2017. This will be a fairly standard and minor schema change release — we’re only tackling 3 tickets that affect downstream users and no other infrastructure changes.
Take a look at our list of tickets for this schema change release. There really are only two tickets that will affect most of our downstream users:
The following tickets are special cases — they will not really affect our downstream users who do not have edit data loaded into their system. We are only including this change at the schema change release time in order to bring some older replicated systems up to date. If you do not use the edit data, then please ignore these tickets.
This is it — really minor this time around. If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments or on the tickets themselves.
Mostly a bug-fix release, with a few small improvements. Thanks a lot to yvanz, reosarevok, loujin, and ferbncode for their contributions. The git tag is v-2017-02-27.
New features include a map of places contained in an area, thanks to work by loujine, and a report of instruments without an image, thanks to yvanz.
More URL cleanup fixes were submitted by yvanz, and a display bug with the locale drop-down was fixed by chirlu. Thanks again to all who contributed this release.
The git tag is v-2017-02-13.
We have many more URL display, cleanup, and auto-selection fixes thanks to yvanz, and one from GCI student anshuman73. A bug with browse requests for instruments and series in our web service has been fixed by Zastai. Thanks to jonathonwiebe, too, for correcting an outdated link in our INSTALL file.
