PeeringDB 2.0 was launched in March 2016 with a complete rewrite in Python. Key features of PeeringDB 2.0 include facilities and exchanges being able to update their own information, multiple records of any type being associated with a single organization, and fine-grained permission controls for organization user management and contact visibility. PeeringDB also provides APIs, tools for local database synchronization, and sponsorship opportunities to support further development.
