Entries falsely marked as REU Releases

Just noticed that quite a lot of prods seem to be falsely marked as REU Releases. Has some entry type been renamed to REU Release, which could have caused this, or has someone randomly changed the type of entries?

Yes, there was a not-so-optimal change to implement a REU Release type and now either demos/cracks which are for REU have been changed to REU Release.
About the "falsely marked as REU Releases" which in particular?

Well, at least Chillout by Dekadence and JAQ by Scallop were marked and I changed them back a moment ago.

JAQ
this was entered as REU release from the start. Nobody changed it.
Chillout
this was changed to REU release in 2007 by Rough, not recently.

Was REU release actually a release type in 2002? Or is it another category renamed, which could explain the odd choice.

Anyway, just browse the REU release category, and you'll notice there's quite a few releases that are in the wrong category.

ok, apparently is a db fuckup. I suspect the new REU release type replaced something else, like "dentro" which was also recently removed. I have only a suspect, no proof.
Edit: yes, it definately is the case, *facepalm*
Beavis & Butthead Dentro
this for example has even Dentro in the name.
I thought that the previously "dentro" were automatically changed to One-file demo type, now we have to manually fix them all *sigh*

that happens when you remove something instead of flagging it obsolete - in advanced search in "release type" box you can see that "reu release" now has the id that was previously used by "c64 dentro" :)

Damn it. Good that there weren't that many releases defined as "Dentro" to begin with.

I already fixed 2 pages of results from advanced search, making sure they were just onefilers and not really reu rls.
