Dear working group,

RIPE Database Release 1.90 was deployed to the Release Candidate Environment, last week on 22 September 2017. If no issues are raised, we plan to deploy this version to production on Monday 16 October 2017

Release 1.90 introduces the following main features in support of NWI-7 (abuse-c implementation):

= Allow adding an "abuse-c:" attribute to INET(6)NUM and AUT-NUM objects = Disallow adding "abuse-c:" to object types other than ROLE, INET(6)NUM and AUT-NUM

Release 1.90 contains a number of small improvements:

= Make org-name validation case-sensitive (no longer consider case changes a no-op) = Support to remove generated AUT-NUM "remarks:" regarding legacy status

The complete list of other minor issues solved by this release can be found here: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/blob/master/changes.txt

Please let us know if you see any issues with this release in the RC environment.

Kind regards

Tim Bruijnzeels

Assistant Manager Software Engineering and Senior Technical Officer RIPE NCC
