[PDB Announce] PeeringDB 2.22.0 release at 2020-07-29 04:00 UTC

[Stephen McManus]

On Wednesday, July 29th at 04:00 UTC, the current beta site will be deployed unless any critical issues are found. This release contains several major changes to PeeringDB, so we are adding an extra week for beta testing. 

Your help in verifying that the upgrade went well by thoroughly testing https://beta.peeringdb.com would be greatly appreciated. Please review the changes and test against the beta site as necessary to prepare for a production roll out. In addition, we will also release the language packs that have reached maturity since our last release.

Preview of the release is at: 
https://beta.peeringdb.com

Release notes for v2.22.0 are here: 
https://docs.peeringdb.com/release_notes/#release-2220

Highlights for this release include:
* Implementations of recommendations from the Data Ownership Task Force. This significantly changes how PeeringDB handles data from IX-F imports.
* Data integrity and safety checks at multiple levels (application and database)

We will be holding a webinar on July 21st to explain some of these changes to the community in more detail. Look forward to an announcement about that shortly. 

As always, let us know at support at peeringdb.com with any comments/questions/concerns.
