Blacklight 3.5.0 released

[Chris Beer]

Blacklight 3.5.0 is now available. It introduces i18n support for Blacklight, allowing applications to change and modify Blacklight-provided text strings without the need to override partials (in addition to providing multi-lingual support).

These release notes are available from our github wiki: https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight/wiki/Blacklight-3.5-release-notes-and-upgrade-guide

Release Notes

• Fix #395, removing hard-coded no-reply@ email addresses from the RecordMailer (see below for upgrade notes)

• Consistent use of polymorphic routing to the show views for documents. solr_document_url and solr_document_path are now part of the engine-provided routes, rather than helper-provided.

• Refactor blacklight.js to take advantage of the Rails asset pipeline by moving separate blocks of code into individual files.

• Fix problem with mounting Blacklight applications at a suburi rather than a document.

= i18n
Blacklight 3.5 introduces i18n (internationalization framework) support. See the Ruby on Rails i18n Rails guide for information on how to use i18n within your application. The list of blacklight-provided (English) translations are available in the engine's config/locales/blacklight.en.yml.

= RecordMailer default email

Blacklight no longer provides a no-reply email address for your application, and instead uses the Rails ActionMailer defaults. In your application, you'll need to add:

In config/environments/development.rb:

    ActionMailer::Base.default :from => 'def...@development-server.com'

In config/environments/production.rb:

    ActionMailer::Base.default :from => 'def...@production-server.com'

You can also target the RecordMailer directly:

    RecordMailer.default :from => 'no-r...@projectblacklight.org'

Thanks,

Chris
