[PDB Announce] PeeringDB 2.13.X release at 2019-07-10T0400Z - second attempt after initial missed deployment slot

[Eric Loos]

Dear community,

On Wednesday, July 10th at 0400Z, the current beta site will be  deployed unless any critical issues are found, due to a mixup on our planning schedule the software was not rolled out during the Nano week, but on the bright side this means more time was spent on testing. Your help in verifying that the newly deployed code works well by thoroughly testing https://beta.peeringdb.com <https://beta.peeringdb.com/> would be greatly appreciated. Please review the changes and test against beta as necessary to prepare for the production roll out.

Our previous release 2.12.X mainly included updates on the IX-F importer to improve the data quality on the objects in PeeringDB and some behind the scenes functionality for the amazing volunteer team that is Admin-Com.
In 2.13.x we are bringing you a number of new features which are part of the #313 epic that you can find here: https://github.com/peeringdb/peeringdb/issues/313 <https://github.com/peeringdb/peeringdb/issues/313>
