The period and pass names were always included in the QCDB queries for retrieving the reference plots. This means that a run from a given period and pass could not be used as reference for a different period and/or pass, which is a strong limitation that needs to be made configurable.
The new code adds two configuration parameters that control whether the period and/or pass names should be ignored or not in the queries (see documentation for details).
