RIPE Database Release 1.69 Available Soon
by Denis Walker 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce that we have deployed a new release of the RIPE Database to the TEST Database environment. Detailed information about the new release, including dates and information about the changes can be found here: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/release-notes/ripe-database-release-1.69 Of special note in this release is the inclusion of "dry-run". Using the dry-run function you can test whether an update would succeed or not. The update procedure runs as normal except that no change is made to the database. Find out more about the dry-run function here: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/dry-run-testing-in-the-ripe-database Due to recent issues with the REST API, we've extended the migration period up until the 1.70 release. This release is currently scheduled for the end of October. If you have any questions or comments, we look forward to hearing them! Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Team

New bug fix release scheduled for 29 August
by Johan Åhlén 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear colleagues, We have moved documentation for the RIPE Database WHOIS REST API out of the database software. It can be accessed at: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/wiki/WHOIS-REST-API Given the benefits associated with generated documentation, we intend to look for another solution for this at a later stage. Since the last release there have been a number of issues reported regarding the REST API. As this is particularly important for users migrating from the old REST service to the new one, we have now addressed these issues in a bug fix release that we will put in production this week, ahead of the next major RIPE Database release. The issues addressed by this release are listed here: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/issues?milestone=1&state=closed For users migrating from the old REST API, we have also created a migration guide that can be found at: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/wiki/WHOIS-REST-API-Migration-Guide The bug fix release is now available in TEST Database and we intend to upgrade the production database on Thursday evening, 29 August. Kind regards, Johan Åhlén Assistant Manager Database RIPE NCC

Update on today's bug fix release
by Johan Åhlén 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear colleagues, Since announcing the next bug fix release for the RIPE Database, we have received some important feedback from the community. Based on some discussions off-list on how to proceed we have decided to move forward and put the release into production today. The current production version of the REST API was not working as intended, and while investigating issues with the broken documentation, other issues were identified, that if not fixed, would lead to unintended use of the REST API. We believe that since this is now affecting certain RIPE Database users, we should not delay deployment any more than necessary. We realise this may not be the most satisfactory deployment and we assure you that the matter will be further considered and discussed at RIPE 67. If you can't be there and have some views on this matter we would very much appreciate hearing from you on the mailing list. Kind regards, Johan Åhlén Assistant Manager Database RIPE NCC
