[db-wg] Database release 1.83 deployed to RC environment

Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce the deployment of RIPE Database software release 1.83 to the Release Candidate (RC) environment, which has gone live on Friday 30 October.

This release is still focussed on seamlessly integrating RIPE NCC Access (SSO) into the webupdates user interface. In addition, several other changes have been made, such as:

- Webupdates will show full object details by default
- Partial route object creation has been greatly improved, indicating which maintainer needs to complete the authorisation
- When deleting a person object, you will be prompted to also delete the associated maintainer if it has no other dependencies
- When trying to delete an object that is still referenced, you will get a list of blocking objects
- Auto-complete of person, role and organisation attributes is now available throughout the interface
- The TEST database now has its own URL instead of having to be selected with a radio button

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Kind regards,

Alex Band
Product Manager
RIPE NCC
