Tag: changelog

This one’s mostly a small bug-fix release, since improvements to sitemaps and other big projects have been concurrently in the works. One thing of note is that the “external links editor” on entity edit pages was rewritten to be more maintainable in the long run; hopefully no bugs have creeped in with the new code, but if any have then please report them on our issue tracker!

Thanks to reosarevok and the MetaBrainz team for working on the changes below. The git tag is v-2015-03-09.

Bug

• [MBS-8055] – Series-Series relationships are blocked by JS
• [MBS-8151] – Filename not being shown in remove cover art edits
• [MBS-8221] – Work pages don’t show event rels
• [MBS-8270] – Bottom display of work relationships is inaccurate for works appearing across multiple tracks

Improvement

• [MBS-7913] – Allow seeding of non-URL ARs when creating non-Release entities via URL parameters
• [MBS-8258] – Rewrite the external links editor in React

We have another server release out today (a little over a day late, as given away by the title). The most exciting change this time around is CritiqueBrainz integration: on release group pages, the most popular and most recent reviews from CritiqueBrainz are now displayed, along with links to write your own. Hopefully people find these reviews useful and interesting and are encouraged to start contributing to CritiqueBrainz themselves!

As usual, the release contains a variety of other bug fixes and improvements, detailed in the changelog below. Thanks very much to chirlu, Freso, reosarevok, and the MetaBrainz team for their work on today’s release. The git tag is v-2015-02-23.

Bug

• [MBS-4928] – It is possible for non-auto-editor users to submit ‘approve’ votes
• [MBS-5959] – _uniq indices for editor_subscribe_{artist,editor,label} not unique
• [MBS-6763] – Entity merges don’t save Ended if there’s no date

• [MBS-8201] – Dates with year == 0 are invisible
• [MBS-8203] – Spurious spaces in relationship target lists
• [MBS-8224] – Events can’t be rated via /ws/2/ratings

Improvement

We’re back with another release! We’ve got a good amount in this release, with patches from the MetaBrainz team as well as chirlu, nikki, reosarevok, Freso, JesseW, and Johan Hattne. A short preview of changes:

• Releases with many mediums (more than 10) now don’t load medium data by default — with JavaScript on, they can be expanded in place, and without javascript there are newly-minted pages per medium. This also removes the regrettable requirement for JavaScript being on to display release data, which we’d had as a temporary improvement here.
• Table of Contents offsets for CDs are now returned when the discid endpoints are used.
• The subscription emails were running into an issue with memory usage, which means some users were not getting emails (or only getting emails sporadically). The script has been reworked to have predictable and lower memory usage so that it’s not killed. Good job on our users for providing it a hard enough task it finally fell over though!
• Importing and replication should now work with the newest version of DBD::Pg, which made a change that broke our code.
• A variety of new improvements (many style-related) and bugfixes.

The git tag for this release is v-2015-02-09.

The full list of tickets fixed:

Our first release of the new year is out today, containing the usual set of editing bug fixes and improvements. There’s also a small new feature in the release editor that allows propagating the release title and artist credit to the release group.

Anyone experiencing failures in InitDb.pl after upgrading DBD::Pg to version 3.5.0 will want to get this update, since it contains a workaround.

Thanks very much to chirlu, navap, nikki, and the MetaBrainz team for their work on today’s release.

This release is quite small because it overlapped with the holidays, but contains a fix for an annoying guess-case issue in the release editor that several people reported. Thanks to chirlu for the rest of the bug fixes listed here!

The git tag is v-2014-12-29.

Bug

• [MBS-4668] – Edit search loses selections when the page number is too high
• [MBS-8064] – Can’t add documentation to migration-created relationship types
• [MBS-8086] – Guess case for release title does not trigger an edit

We’ve released another server update today, though a fairly modest one, since bigger changes have been happening in the background with embedding JSON-LD into our pages and switching our JavaScript over to browserify. A few more edit types have been made auto-edits for everyone, as detailed in the changelog below. There’s additionally been some misc. UI changes, and a fix to output artist genders in the JSON webservice.

Thanks to chirlu, nikki, reosarevok, and the MetaBrainz team for their hard work on today’s release.

The git tag is v-2014-12-15.

Bug

• [MBS-7916] – “Set track durations” preview is broken for single-track mediums
• [MBS-8008] – “Add Event” (entity) and “Add Event” (release event) share the same translation string
• [MBS-8044] – Map doesn’t zoom when pasting coordinates
• [MBS-8066] – “Date” field wraps inconsistently in different browsers
• [MBS-8082] – Gender missing on artist lookup (JSON)

Improvement

• [MBS-7973] – Make remove alias/ISRC/ISWC edits auto-edits for auto-editors
• [MBS-7975] – Make move disc ID edits auto-edits
• [MBS-8045] – Update link_event to include dates

This release was pushed back a week due to scheduling around the GSoC summit and upcoming schema change release, but here it finally is. Editors can take note that more edit types are now auto-edits: adding recording-work relationships, adding/editing aliases, setting track durations, and editing cover artwork. We’ve also added a “Make all edits votable” checkbox to allow edits that are normally always applied automatically (like capitalization changes) to be left open for voting if there’s any dispute or uncertainty. Auto-editors should be aware that this checkbox replaces the one that previously toggled their auto-editor privileges (so it should be left unchecked wherever it was previously left checked).

As part of this release, we’ve deployed some changes that should hopefully prevent slow /ws/2 searches from tying up too many perl processes on our frontends. This may reduce the number of 502s we’ve been seeing lately, but it’s a bit early to pronounce any results. Thanks go to kepstin for suggesting the nginx trickery used here.

More thanks go to chirlu, nikki, and ianmcorvidae for their hard work on today’s release.
