June 2010 site update

[albummaster]

We've now refined the average rating algorithm across the site. Average ratings are now based on a Bayesian average (instead of an arithmetic mean). Please see this forum post for a full discussion on why we have changed this. At the same time, we have refined the track-pick algorithm so that a track-pick now requires five member ratings (instead of two).

We've fixed an issue with the recent charts RSS feed sometimes not showing the top ranked album in a chart.

We've also fixed an issue with album/band suggestions not appearing on the 'My Chart' page if a suggestion contained invalid XML elements.

We now display the IP address of the chart creator on the individual chart pages to make more transparent who submitted a chart.

Lots of other smaller changes and more very soon.
