IR+ 2.1 update

[Nate Sarr]

Hi Everyone,

 

    I wanted to give a status update of IR+ version 2.1 release date.  We are in the process of completing our testing and use cases.  We hope to release the new code to production at the University of Rochester in mid August.  After a few weeks of running in production at the University of Rochester we hope to release the 2.1 version of IR+ to the community.  This means that IR+ 2.1 should be available sometime in mid september so long as no issues are found.

 

    Below is a list of changes:

IR+ 2.0.8 to 2.1

==========================

- Added MARC import/export

- Importer role added for importing MARC files - users must be given this

privilege before they can import data

- Fixed IE issue when editing a publication

- Add/Create/Remove Series Button

- Add/Create/Remove sub title Button

- Fixed issue with CSS on images with multiple classes (removed comma)

- Fixed issue where moving files and folders on institutional publication then

selecting finish later took user to workspace rather than publication

- Moved editing buttons on institutional publication to top of page - were hidden before

- Fixed deleting multiple files and folders within a sub folder - would fail before on personal workspace

- Fixed deleting multiple files and folders within a sub folder - would fail before on researcher workspace

- Separated place of publication from publisher

- Added rss feed not found when no contributor id is passed in

- Added contributor not found when no contributor id is passed in

- Added filter to open files with the following extensions jpg, tiff, tif, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, pdf

(Note: this is configurable)

- Fixed view file system in create publication step one to order files and folders ascending by type.

(Folders first alpha then files alpha)

- Fixed final step of submission screen to show full publication name - previously did not show

articles (A, the, ...)

- Fixed IE issue when users change logo - larger logos cause the header to go beyond set width.

Allowed logo 50% and links 50%

- Fixed issue when url is not correct - causes exception on item_files_frag.jsp. Updated

to use ItemLink.urlValue rather than ItemLink.url

- Added processing window when deleting personal publications. This prevents users from trying to perform

actions while the delete is occurring.

- Change in default license for the repository now requires the license to be accepted when the user visits

their workspace

- Fixed large buttons issue in IE

- Updated Administration documentation

- Researcher pages picture upload - if no primary picture exists, the

up loaded picture becomes the primary picture. If the primary picture

is deleted and other pictures exist the next picture in the set

becomes the primary picture.

- No longer require researcher page abilities for administrator privileges. Administrators

may not need this privilege and can add it at a later time if needed to their own accounts.
