The PASS team is happy to announce the release of version 2.2.0.
This release includes a refactoring of the way metadata schemas are processed and handled in the user interface (UI). This was a broad refactor that improved and simplified metadata state management and processing in the UI, replaced an outdated library (alpaca.js) in the UI that previously handled metadata forms with a more modern JavaScript library (survey.js), and moved the metadata schema service from the backend into the UI. This release additionally resolved intermittent failures in acceptance testing CI runs and improved the documentation around the release process itself. During this release cycle the team also investigated and supported the migration from Sonatype OSSRH (being deprecated at the end of June) to Central Portal for publishing artifacts to Maven central.
The PASS demo site has been discontinued to reduce operational burden and documentation has been updated to remove links and references that are no longer needed. If you'd like a demo of PASS, feel free to reach out, we'd be happy to provide one for you.
