[db-wg] Whois Release 1.93

Dear Working Group,

the RIPE Database release 1.93 was delayed due to the Full Text Search downtime earlier this week.

We have now deployed an updated 1.93.2 release to the RC environment.

The complete list of changes in this release can be found in GitHub:
https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/blob/master/changes.txt

We now plan to deploy this release to production next Monday, 4th March.

Regards
Ed Shryane
