RIPE Whois Server version 3.1.1

Dear Colleagues,

[ Apologies for multiple messages. ]

The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce the release of Version 3.1.1 of
the RIPE Whois server. This software is compliant with both RPSL
(RFC-2622) and RPS-Security (RFC-2725).

This release adds several user-visible improvements:

- MD5-PW authentication added.
- IPv6 status changed to comply with new RIPE policy.

Detailed release notes can be found at the following URL:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/RELEASE-NOTES-3.1.1


You can download this release by anonymous FTP from the following URL:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/ripe-dbase-3.1.1.tar.gz

If you do not intend to use the cross-reference files or prefer to
build them yourself via "make docs", you can download the source
without these files by anonymous FTP from the following URL:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/ripe-dbase-3.1.1-nocxref.tar.gz

A diff for the 3.1.1 "nocxref" version is also available, if you
already have 3.1.0 and would prefer to patch that version instead, at
the following URL:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/patch-ripe-dbase-3.1.0-nocxref-3.1.1.gz


The client has been updated, with a minor performance increase:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/ripe-whois-3.1.1.tar.gz

The Object Parsing Library (OPL) standalone source has also been
updated, and is identical to the library used with the release.  In
the future, we will be releasing the OPL at the same time as the
RIPE Whois server to keep them synchronised:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/RPSL-OL-3.1.1.tar.gz


If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact
