[ncc-services-wg] [db-wg] Fwd: RIPE Database Release 1.72 - including SSO Integration

Dear Piotr,

Thanks for pointing out the version mismatches, we’ll update the manuals ASAP.

As mentioned earlier we’re currently in the process of improving the documentation. We’re doing this in two phases, first we'll improve our procedures and apply the best practices for documenting software. Once we have the new procedure in place we'll do a major review of the manuals, section by section. Please bear with us until then as this is quite a big project.

Kind regards,

Johan Åhlén
Asst. Manager Database
RIPE NCC
