Release 1.71.1 reverted, current RIPE Database release is 1.71
by Johan Åhlén 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Dear colleagues, Earlier today we deployed a minor release of the RIPE Database software. The release contained a correction of an invalid data structure returned in the JSON format. The issue is described in detail here: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/issues/114 The beta REST API was decommissioned with the deployment of 1.71. As the issue above was affecting users that had not yet migrated to the new API we decided to go ahead with the minor release. However, we were just informed that there are users that rely on this specific structure for their operations so we have reverted the minor release. The current RIPE Database version in production is now back to 1.71 We’ve also made sure that the old beta API is available for any users that can’t migrate because of the issue mentioned above. Please contact me directly and I will provide you with the details on how you can connect to the old beta API. We are sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you and if you have any questions or concerns then please let me know. Kind regards, Johan Åhlén Assistant Manager Database RIPE NCC

RIPE Database Release 1.71
by Johan Åhlén 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce RIPE Database release 1.71. You can find details about the new features, changes and how you might be affected, and important dates in the release notes: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/release-notes/ripe-database-release-1.71 The new release contains the "import-via" and "export-via" attributes that were discussed in the Database and Routing Working Groups at RIPE 67, the initial implementation of which was made by Job Snijders. After further discussions on the mailing lists, the working group chairs decided that this feature should be incorporated in the RIPE Database. You can find out more about these attributes here: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-snijders-rpsl-via-02.txt With this release we would also like to introduce our new Release Candidate environment. The Release Candidate environment is distinct from the TEST Database, and aims to provide an environment as close as possible to "production" where you can test that your software will work with upcoming RIPE Database releases. You can find out more about the Release Candidate environment in the release notes linked above. We look forward to hearing any questions or comments you might have! Kind regards, Johan Åhlén Assistant Manager Database RIPE NCC

Re: [db-wg] [routing-wg] Need for "import-via:" and "export-via:" attributes in AUT-NUM object
by Job Snijders 12 Dec '13

Dear people, On Thu, Oct 24, 2013 at 03:05:21PM +0200, Denis Walker wrote: > During the RIPE 67 Meeting in Athens last week, there was some > discussion about the introduction of new "via" attributes to the > AUT-NUM object. This issue has been discussed on both the Database and Routing Working Group mailing lists and at RIPE 67 in both Database and Routing sessions. Overall there was support for it on the Database Working Group list. On the routing-wg@ mailinglist one comment was made, also in support of the introduction of these attributes. The software is ready to be deployed, but the RIPE NCC needs someone to say 'yes, go ahead' if there is consensus. Does anyone have a problem with moving forward towards deployment? Bullet point pitch: - The change is backwards compatible with older RPSL parsers. - The new attributes are completely optional. - This change adds advanced functionality that will especially benefit route server operators and participants. Kind regards, Job

New minor release 1.70.1 to fix replication issue
by Johan Åhlén 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Dear colleagues, We have identified the cause of the recent replication issues we've been experiencing with the MySQL back-end. In short, we have detected a bug in the particular MySQL version we are currently running. In order to avoid this bug, we had to implement a workaround that we deployed today at 16:30 (UTC +1). Since the workaround was the only feasible solution, we were forced to build and deploy a new minor version (1.70.1) of the RIPE Database software. Release notes can be found here: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/release-notes Kind regards, Johan Åhlén Assistant Manager, Database RIPE NCC

Problem with replication
by Johan Åhlén 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Dear colleagues, Since 0:00 (UTC+1) on Wednesday, 20 November, we’ve experienced some issues with data replication in our back-end system. This has led to unreasonable delays between executing a database update and seeing the result in the queries in some cases. We want to ensure you that all updates have been processed and no data has been lost. We have a temporary fix to restore data replication to a normal state, so currently the replication is working as it should. However, for unknown reasons, the replication has been failing at some point during the night. We’re working very hard to identify the root cause of this issue in order to find a permanent solution to the problem. Please check the Service and Security Announcements page for updates if you encounter any issues: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/service-announcements. Kind regards, Johan Åhlén Assistant Manager, Database RIPE NCC
