New RIPE Database features

Dear Colleagues,

[ Apologies for multiple messages ]

A new version of the RIPE Database software was put into production 
today, Thursday 7 February, at 9:00 UTC.

It implements the new features I was referring to in my mail of 14 
January. Also, some parts of the code were re-implemented, mainly 
regarding object parsing and syntax checks.

The updated documentation describing these changes will be published soon.

In case you experience problems with the new database system, please do 
not hesitate to contact ripe-dbm at ripe.net or the development team at 
dbrip at ripe.net.

Kind regards,


Andrei Robachevsky
DB Group Manager
