Tag: changelog

Hello! It’s been another two weeks and it’s time for another release of musicbrainz-server. Thanks to intgr, Freso, and bitmap for their contributions to this release alongside ocharles and I. Congratulations also to bitmap, who becomes part of the official MetaBrainz team today.

This release is primarily bug fixes and small tweaks, though perhaps the most visible change is that Places and Works now have custom entity icons like most of our other entities already did.

The git tag for this release is v-2013-12-09.

Hello again! We’ve got another freshly-pressed release of musicbrainz-server, just sent out to our agents in the field. Thanks to JesseW, Freso, and nikki for supplementing my and ollie’s work this round.

Some things you might be excited about this release:

• For artists with only standalone recordings, they’ll now be shown on the overview tab, similar to artists with only VA releases (thanks JesseW!)
• The newly-added Bandcamp relationship for artists and labels should now clean up and autoselect the type (thanks Freso)
• Images in Wikimedia Commons will now appear on artist and place pages (thanks nikki!)
• Place coordinates now support a few more formats, to support comma as a decimal separator and to support the format used on the Japanese Wikipedia.
• You can now provide a list of statistics to the timeline graph by separating the raw statistic names with ‘+’. For example, showing the pace of addition of geonames URLs to areas: https://musicbrainz.org/statistics/timeline/count.area+count.ar.links.l_area_url.geonames#+r-

Otherwise, a variety of bug fixes and small improvements. We hope you like it! The tag for this release is v-2013-11-25, which this week I’ve remembered to push to both github and bitbucket.
