>> This release includes many small bug fixes and feature improvements. Notably, we have addressed the following issues:
>> - Issue #221: It is now possible to change the name of a PERSON or ROLE object
>> - Issue #256: Abuse contact information is now shown when using web lookups 
>> - Issue #220: Failed update notifications now include a diff of the attempted change
>> 
>> A number of users requested the notification of a failed update to include a diff showing what was attempted to be changed. A consequence of this change is that, if you mistype the password pseudo-attribute (eg "pasword: clear_password"), the notification will include your clear text password.
>> 
>> This is a good time for all maintainers of data in the RIPE Database to review to whom these notifications are sent. The "upd-to:" attribute in a MNTNER object should only include the email address of a person or team in your organisation who deals with security issues. If this team receives such a notification, they should advise the user to change their password.
>> 
>> We invite all users of the RIPE Database to review the new release in the RC environment:
