Release Notes

  • Completed a number of infrastructure improvements and performed multiple bug fixes.
  • Made improvements to the combined web search and Whois/RDAP search functions, including:
    • Adding the ability to select entities (such as POCs, Orgs, and Customers) in search results to get entity information.
    • Improving query behavior when a user searches for single-word entity names.
    • Returning nameservers in domain queries.
  • Added Google captcha feature to account creation to provide added security.
  • Created additional messaging to notify users of payment status when using a credit card to pay an invoice in the Payments & Billing page.
  • Resolved issues with screen display and usability on certain mobile devices.
  • Fixed parsing issues with third-party library used by the CIDR calculator.
  • Completed work to transition ARIN systems to a stateless architecture to reduce timeouts for users and lessen downtime required for system maintenance. Note: As part of this change, the server used with some REST calls (that download files using your API key) has changed. ARIN has put redirects in place, but you may need to manually configure your scripts to point to the correct server. The server has changed for these commands from account.arin.net to accountws.arin.net. The affected commands are:
    • Downloading Bulk Whois Data – command examples:
      https://accountws.arin.net/public/secure/downloads/bulkwhois?apikey=YOUR-API-KEY``https://accountws.arin.net/public/secure/downloads/bulkwhois/XXX+YYY.zip?apikey=YOUR-API-KEY
    • Downloading the Report of Resources with No Valid POCs – command example:https://accountws.arin.net/public/rest/downloads/nvpr?apikey=YOUR-API-KEY
    • Downloading the Specified Transfer Listing Service (STLS) file – command example:https://accountws.arin.net/public/secure/downloads/stls?apikey=YOUR-API-KEY
