> [@bitmap](#):
>
> mostly schema change work  
> I merged everything and made a bunch of docker changes to allow us to test this against a new database, which took most of the week  
> there’s now a DB on williams where I successfully ran upgrade.sh, and I’m setting up an MBS instance at test.mb as we speak for people to play with

### @yvanzo

[Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3902547/)

> [@yvanzo](#):
>
> This week, I polished new medium attributes (still [MBS-8393](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-8393)) to allow filtering attributes (type/value) by medium format. (e.g. SPARS code DDD won’t be available for vinyl, mould SID code won’t be available for cassette), that is, only pertaining will be proposed for editing.  
> I worked on WS query for work relationships, particularly recursive query [MBS-9325](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9325) to retrieve main work. (This is related to Sophist\_UK topic.)  
> Finally, I worked on PL/V8 prerequisite (basically JS support within PostgreSQL) for [MBS-9080](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9080).

> [@ApeKattQuest\_MonkeyPython](#):
>
> pestered both reosarevok and freso(sorry) to fix [OTHER-294](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/OTHER-294) so I could retroactively add tickets to fix versions, which should enable me to create nice reports and make it easier to link to Freso’s Community Recap ORG tickets - for once reo was not a slacker and thus it was fixed and I’ve done so.  
> also created missing tickets for instruments already added but without a ticket (ok’ed this with reo).  
> finally fixed the ngoni things! \o/  
> ..aaand closed a bunch of tickets as non-fix
