We just updated the main server with the latest and greatest features:
New Features
- Lucene Search – New search functions that uses a Lucene text search engine. See the text
search documentation for details on how to use this new search. However, indexes are currently only updated once a day, so the old search
feature is still available for when you need to find something that may have changed in the last day. - XMLWebservice – This new XML based web service drastically improves on the old RDF based web service by being more standards compliant and
having a much more granular control over what data is returned for each query. Read the documentation
how to use this new service. Please note that this is in BETA and the service is still subject to change! - New option to “approve” edits for auto moderators (719)
- New links “Create relationship with this artist/album/track” and “Relate to URL” to speed up the process of
adding AdvancedRelationships (21) - Adding more complete release dates is now auto moderation. (759)
- New option to automatically subscribe to artists created by you (995)
- Numerous improvements and bugfixes to the guess case and related Javascript tools.

(605) - More “intelligent” defaults guessing of new track artists for album moves (1015)
