[db-wg] First round of cleanup of Database WG NWIs

Dear colleagues,

Regarding NWI-2, I was asked which object types are currently available for historical queries, and which attributes are filtered out. This information may be useful to others.

The history is available for all object types except for person and role. This is documented here: 
https://apps.db.ripe.net/docs/Types-of-Queries/Historical-Queries/

The following attribute types are filtered in historical query responses:

address
admin-c
auth SSO and MD5-PW are filtered, X509 and PGPKEY are not
author
e-mail
mnt-nfy
notify
ping-hdl
ref-nfy
tech-c
upd-to
zone-c

The version filtering code is available on GitHub: 
https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/blob/master/whois-query/src/main/java/net/ripe/db/whois/query/executor/VersionQueryExecutor.java

Regards
Ed Shryane
