Server update, 2012-12-10

We’ve just finished pushing out an update to the musicbrainz.org servers. While work continues on the new edit system and an ingestion solution, this is a fairly small release of mostly bug fixes. Thanks to Pavan Chander and the MusicBrainz team for their work on this release!

Bug

  • [MBS-5035] – Removing release leaves orphaned recordings
  • [MBS-5126] – Orphaned recordings do not get removed (regression)
  • [MBS-5548] – Git commit data output isn’t HTML escaped
  • [MBS-5576] – Release group bar when adding disc IDs is one column too short
  • [MBS-5581] – Some stuff untranslated that wasn’t before
  • [MBS-5618] – Wikipedia abstract logic doesn’t properly encode certain characters

  • [MBS-5260] – Cache /text.js somehow
  • [MBS-5317] – Webservice needs to support fmt=json switch to fmt=jsonnew for search queries

New Feature

  • [MBS-4108] – Display Wikipedia abstract inline

The Git tag for this release is v-2012-12-10.

Server update, 2012-11-27

We’ve just finished pushing out a tiny little update to the MusicBrainz servers. This one improves on the ‘set release group cover art’ feature, but exposing an interface to make these changes. Later work will expose this cover art in more places. So, here’s the grand list of what has changed! Thanks to the MusicBrainz developers for their work on this release.

Bug

  • [MBS-4627] – Highlight all images with pending edits

Improvement

  • [MBS-5265] – Add release-group front cover art support

The Git tag for this release is v-2012-11-27.

Server update, 2012-11-14

We’ve just finishing pushing out another update to the MusicBrainz web servers. Sadly, this one is both a little bit later and quite a bit smaller than our normal releases – blame the summit for that! Many thanks to Frederik “Freso” S. Olesen, Michael Wiencek, Wieland Hoffmann and the MusicBrainz team for their work in this release. Before we get to the release notes, a quick announcement regarding DBDefs:

DBDefs.pm

This release features a new way of working with DBDefs, and we recommend everyone who runs a MusicBrainz server to reset their DBDefs to the new system. However, this should only be necessary if you run a web server – if you only use replication it should be possible to continue with the old DBDefs. To use the new DBDefs:

  1. Copy lib/DBDefs.pm.sample to lib/DBDefs.pm.
  2. Edit lib/DBDefs.pm to match your configuration.

This will give you a DBDefs.pm configuration that will continue to work with future changes to DBDefs, rather than causing exceptions as it previously did.

Server update, 2012-10-01

We’ve just finished pushing out an update today, which will be the last update before the schema change, which is now due in 2 weeks. Sadly, this release doesn’t feature the much anticipated relationship editor, which had to be reverted at the last minute as we still think it could do with more user testing. Hopefully it will make the next release!

Search server release: 2012-09-18

We’ve just updated our search servers with a new release. This release adds support for a new improved json format for the search server and will be publicly available after the next mbserver release. We also now output the date (in the XML/json) the index was last updated so you know how old the results received are.

Picard 1.1 released

Three months after the big release of Picard 1.0, we’ve released version 1.1 today with a good batch of changes.
Before discussing those, let’s say thanks to everyone who has contributed to version 1.1! Wieland Hoffmann (Mineo), Lukáš Lalinský, Frederik S. Olesen (Freso), and Johannes Weißl (weisslj) have all made some notable changes to make this release possible.
Users of the German translation should no longer experience any menu display issues. (Sorry for the annoyance that has caused!) Speaking of languages: the “language” tag now stores the lyrics language instead of the tracklist language.
Windows users should also no longer run into any trouble with drag-and-drop after launching Picard for the first time.
The new version can be downloaded at:
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Picard.
Please report any new bugs at:
http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/
Here’s the list of changes since 1.0:
* Always show basic tags in metadata comparison box, even if empty (title,
artist, album, tracknumber, ~length, date) (PICARD-201)
* Fixed AcoustID submission failure after removing files from Picard (PICARD-82)
* Allow multi-select in new MetaDataBox for delete/remove tags (PICARD-194)
* File browser remembers last directory/no longer crashes on OS X (PICARD-104)
* Removed the “Run Picard” option from the Windows installer (PICARD-11)
* Refreshing a non-album track correctly clears previous track metadata (PICARD-220)
* Fixed the preserved tags setting for tags with uppercase characters (PICARD-217)
* Added a completion box to the preserved tags setting, and clarified how it works
* Store lyrics language in tags instead of text representation language (PICARD-242)
* Fix various oddities in the metadata comparison box (PICARD-255, PICARD-256)
