Re: [ncc-services-wg] [db-wg] RIPE Database Release 1.69 Available Now
Dear Aris, If you use the keyword 'DIFF' in a subject line of an email update the software will treat the update as a dry-run and does not handle multiple objects. There is no need to use 'DIFF' as a keyword to get a diff output. By default all notification messages for object modifications now return the diff output followed by the full new object.

Hello Denis and all,
Any chance the new feature broke multiple object updates via a single email (without using the dry-run option, ofc.)? We seem to be getting error messages when trying to do that, I've already notified auto-dbm@ about it.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [db-wg] RIPE Database Release 1.69 Available Soon Date: Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:27:50 +0200 From: Denis Walker <denis@ripe.net> Organization: RIPE NCC To: Database WG <db-wg@ripe.net>, NCC Services WG <ncc-services-wg@ripe.net>
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
Hi Denis,

Yes, this is one of the changes that has tripped me up. Not being in the habit of reading all the release notes of minor updates to the database (or even knowing when to), it used to be standard practice for us to use 'diff' in the subject line of an update so that we could see what changed between two versions of a fairly large object. At some point, a minor release then started rejecting updates with that keyword. Now it is back, but with a different meaning. There are good reasons for this, I am sure, but from a user interface point of view it could perhaps have been communicated better, or a different "new" keyword used rather than overload one that has previously been used. Cheers, Rob
