[db-wg] History lost ...

Dear colleagues,

the versions feature is no longer in beta.

You can query for the version history of a resource, a previous version of the object, and the difference between any two versions of an object.

However, this feature does not list the version history for a deleted object, or for any versions before an object was re-created.

If you have any questions for the RIPE NCC, please contact us.

Regards
Ed Shryane
RIPE NCC

It would be nice to have the unlocked maintainer apply for objects related to the block not just the inetnum for example.
