This release includes, among the usual small bug fixes and improvements, two small changes worth mentioning specifically.

The first is an improvement that has been requested often: it is now possible to filter all versions of an artist’s index page. That means non-official and various artists release groups can be filtered using the same tools previously available for the standard official groups view. Enjoy, live bootleg lovers!

The second is that account administrators can now immediately accept or reject any edit (even ones that cannot normally be approved). This is an anti-vandalism measure, and the plan is to use it only in cases where spam and vandalism should be removed as soon as possible, rather than waiting for a specific number of days and/or votes. When used, a new type of vote “Admin approval” / “Admin rejection” will be indicated on the edit votes list.

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

Welcome to the first release of 2025! This includes a lot of small improvements and fixes, and one larger change: using primary aliases for more entities and in more places.

Primary aliases for all entities except instruments (which can be translated directly) will be displayed after the entity name when they exist, just like a disambiguation comment. This extends the existing feature for artists written by derat a few months ago (thanks derat!). If you find some places where the aliases should be displayed, but aren’t, please let us know with a ticket!.

Keep in mind aliases will only be shown if they are marked as primary for the language you are browsing MusicBrainz in (you won’t see English aliases if browsing in French, for example). If you see an entity is missing an alias in your language that would help people more easily understand what it is, add it!

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

Image editing has been re-enabled after being down for the past month, so it’s now time to upload your backlog of scanned artwork if you haven’t already done so on the beta site! The rest of the changelog is short, but we’ll give a special mention to JadedBlueEyes, whose GSoC project is now being used for sending emails between editors. You’ll notice that a newer, fancier email template is now used for such messages. We hope to convert the rest of the emails we send out to use the new service soon, in future server releases.

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