Also, off the top of my head:

  - New branding was very recently introduced.

  - The infrastructure has moved to the cloud and is now primarily hosted

    performance.

  - A tutorial version of the web site is now available and being 
    introduced at conferences.  Arnold introduced this here:

  - Translations are growing in number and there is a web site available 
    to assist in the process.  Details at: https://docs.peeringdb.com/translation/

  - The software became Open Source in November and we welcome 
    contributions from the community.
