Dear Working Group, RIPE Database release 1.95 has been deployed to the Release Candidate environment. If no issues are found, we plan to deploy to production on Monday, 9th September.
This release contains two main changes: - Whois queries are now normalised to the latin-1 character set, in the same way as for Whois updates (any non-latin-1 input is normalised into latin-1, or substituted with a question mark). If any normalisation is performed, an extra comment is added to the response to inform the user. - Attributes which can contain personal data (address, e-mail and notify) are filtered out from historical object versions (i.e. when using the --show-version and --diff-versions flags). For a full list of changes, refer to the release notes: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/release-notes/ripe-database-release-1.95 More information on the Release Candidate environment can be found on our website: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/release-notes/rc-release-candidate-environment Please let us know if you find any issues with this release in the RC environment. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC
