Dear all, the RIPE NCC is happy to announce version 2.3 of the RIPE Database software. This new version introduces complete support for the IPv6 address objects. Only the RIPE NCC can introduce objects with value ALLOCATED in the status field of IPv4 address objects. This reflects the current registration policy. Some other minor features and a number of bug fixes have been introduced. For more details, please see the release notes included below and on the software package. This new version is available immediately from ftp.ripe.net and will be used on whois.ripe.net starting next Monday (7th June). Regards, Joao Damas DB Group RIPE NCC
