[PDB-announce] version 1.9.21 released

[Stefan Pratter]

version 1.9.21 has been released to beta.peeringdb.com
=====================================================================

This is the last major feature update before rollout on 15th of March. 
Any further updates until then will focus on bug-fixes, optimizations 
and a few minor feature additions.

1.9.20 had introduced some issues with the import of netixlan entries 
that resulted in duplicates and wrongly deleted netixlans and ixlans. 
Hotfixes for these issues were rolled out to beta on Feb 4th and Feb 
10th respectively.

WEB UI

   * authenticated users will now find a navigation menu where the 
logout button used to be that contains links to the pages for the 
organizations they are affiliated with as well as the aforementioned 
logout link
   * /org - added organization view
   * /org - admin tools - on the bottom of the org view, if you have 
editing permissions, you will now find management tools that let you 
create exchanges, facilities and networks under the org.
   * /org - admin tools - users may ask to affiliate with your 
organization during signup, in which case you will be notified of that 
and may then approve or deny their request
   * /org - admin tools - you are now able to permission out create, 
delete and update rights to your organization's users for the 
organization and all entities it owns
   * /ix - When an IX only has one IXLAN attached to it, it's LAN 
section will now be rendered in a simplified view to guests viewing the 
page. IXes with multiple IXLANs or when being viewed by someone with 
edit permissions will still render out the filterable/sortable LAN list
   * /ix - fixed issue where changes to "Long Name" field would not be saved
   * /ix - fixed issue where trying to save a prefix for a freshly 
created ixlan would fail with "0 error"
   * /fac - removed sonet, ether, atm column from "Public Peering 
Participants" web view
   * /fac - fixed location editing
   * views will now show if an entity is pending review
   * attempting to view an org, fac, net or ix with status "deleted" 
will now return 404
   * email confirmation view will now render embedded in the base pdb 
site layout rather than a generic white page

API / DATA

   * fixed an issue where some relationship queries would not respect 
api filters such as "__in"
   * objects with status "pending" will no longer be returned in list 
retrievals - they may still be accessed by their id however
   * objects with status "pending" are not allowed to have child objects 
created beneath them (eg ixlan under ix if ix the ix status is pending) 
- you may however still edit the pending object's base fields.
   * fixed issue where ?since parameter would not return objects with 
status "deleted"
   * /poc - "visible" field is now set to "Users" for all imported 
contacts - meaning any authenticated user (that has been approved by pdb 
staff) can see them. This is identical to how "Private" visibility used 
to work before. "Private" visibility after today means only users that 
are members of the network's organization may view those contacts.
   * /asn - passing a malformed asn will now longer result in a 500 
error but will return a 400 bad request error instead
