Dear colleagues,

the versions feature is no longer in beta.

You can query for the version history of a resource, a previous version of the object, and the difference between any two versions of an object.

However, this feature does not list the version history for a deleted object, or for any versions before an object was re-created.

If you have any questions for the RIPE NCC, please contact us.

Regards
Ed Shryane

Have you looked at:  https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/proposal-to-display-history-of-objects-in-ripe-database  Not sure if this is still in Beta?

I don't know the the process or policy of each RIR and am more familiar with ARIN.  ARIN does not get rid of historical information.  They keep the records and make the information available through a service called WhoWas. https://www.arin.net/resources/whowas/index.html

Hi,

I support this and also was wondering about associated objects like routing objects and in-addrs? This is also an issue for claiming an old block where a locked maintainer was used. It would be nice to have the unlocked maintainer apply for objects related to the block not just the inetnum for example.

Thanks,
Billy

Hi,

 

With the IP transfers going in full swing, it is quite common these days that the larger prefix size is broken up in to multiple smaller prefixes..

 

As the original prefix is split up, the IPRA’s remove the original prefix from the database .. and with it .. the history …

 

Is there a way to preserve that data to be able to still lookup the data using –list-versions or –show-version # …
