Summer update and what comes next
Summer is over and during the last months most of the work was done “under the hood”. All the stuff you do not see but which is still important.Notable changes
However, some of the changes you do see so let’s break some of them down:
Roadmap for the rest of the year
2 features are currently in development and will be released until the end of the year:API (first wave)
The API allows you to access FMDB data programmatically. Once you are a signed-up user, you can generate an access token yourself, which is used for authentication. OpenAPI documentation will also be available for all endpoints and explain how to use them.In the first wave, basic entries like artists, productions, labels, and releases will be available endpoints.Check back later for more information.User Collection & Wish list
People in our niche are often collectors with hundreds of releases on their shelves. Having the right tools is essential for maintaining an organized collection. The same is true for a wish list. See which releases you are missing. Move them to your collection once you have obtained them.By default, your collection and wish list are private. You can choose when to make them publicly available — you remain in control.The header section for a production contains tabs for better navigation. You can jump straight to releases, recordings
or episodes if the production is a television series.
Recordings are now browsable for all. You can see all credits for each recording. There is also a indicator if the
recording is a re-recording.
You can now filter for decade and year for search results.
The display of credits in a release has been updated. Additional credits are now separated from the
recording credits.
