Hi everyone,


We're happy to announce that Dataverse 6.6 is now available with several important bug fixes and new features.


Bug fixes. Dataverse 6.6 fixes the following important bugs:

  • A bug which causes users of the Anonymous Review URL to have some metadata of published datasets withheld has been fixed. See #11202 and #11164.

  • On the Advanced Search page, the metadata fields are now displayed in the correct order as defined in the TSV file via the displayOrder value, making the order the same as when you view or edit metadata. Note that fields that are not defined in the TSV file, like the "Persistent ID" and "Publication Date", will be displayed at the end. See #11272 and #11279.

  • The file page version table now shows whether a file has been replaced. See #11142 and #11145.

  • The OpenAIRE metadata export format can now correctly process one or multiple productionPlaces as geolocation. See #9546 and #11194


New features. New release 6.6 features include:

  • Payara and Solr infrastructure updates

  • Metadata fields can be "display on create" per collection

  • Support for ORCIDs linked to accounts

  • Version notes

  • Harvesting from DataCite

  • Citations using Citation Style Language (CSL)

  • License metadata enhancements

  • New metadata blocks for 3D objects and archival purposes

  • Metadata fields now support range searches (dates, integers, etc.)

  • More accurate search highlighting

  • Collections can be moved by using the superuser dashboard


More Dataverse improvements. Please see the release notes for more bug fixes, updates, and new features.


As always, a big thank you to everyone who contributed code, suggestions, bug reports, and other assistance across the project!
