This release includes, among the usual small bug fixes and improvements, two small changes worth mentioning specifically.
The first is an improvement that has been requested often: it is now possible to filter all versions of an artist’s index page. That means non-official and various artists release groups can be filtered using the same tools previously available for the standard official groups view. Enjoy, live bootleg lovers!
The second is that account administrators can now immediately accept or reject any edit (even ones that cannot normally be approved). This is an anti-vandalism measure, and the plan is to use it only in cases where spam and vandalism should be removed as soon as possible, rather than waiting for a specific number of days and/or votes. When used, a new type of vote “Admin approval” / “Admin rejection” will be indicated on the edit votes list.
A new release of MusicBrainz Docker is also available that matches this update of MusicBrainz Server. See the release notes for update instructions.
