Release Notes

35 35
Fixes in 1.2.1:
36
  1) If dataset document has a triple that access document provide
37
     access control for itself, the xml_access table wouldn't have double
38
     entries for access document.
39
  2) Fixed the bug for spatial search when there are letters in latitude or
40
     longitude nodes.
36
  1) If an inserted EML dataset document has a triple links an access
37
     control document with itself, Metacat will no longer create double 
38
     entries in the xml_access table.
39
  2) Fixed bugzilla bug 916.  Metacat will no longer throw an exception 
40
     when there are illegal characters in the spatial search fields.

42
For 1.2.0:
43

  
44
In 1.2.0 release, the structure of the xml_replication table was changed.
45
If you try to update a previously installed Metacat, you should run a script
46
file to updated the table structure before installation.
47
For Oracle user: At the SQLPLUS prompt type the following -
48
@src/xmlreplicationtable.sql
49
For Postgresql user: At install directory prompt type the following -
50
psql exp < src/xmlreplicationtable_postgres.sql
51
(where 'exp' is the database name).
52

  
53
If you are a new Metacat user, this step is unneeded.
54

  
55
The build.xml file now has a property named datafilepath. It should be set
56
to the location of where you want your data files stored. The data directory 
57
needs to be writeable by whatever user is running tomcat. If you are an
58
existing user, the data directory is now /<tomcatdir>/webapps/metacat/data
59
where <tomcatdir> is the your tomcat installation directory where
60
your webapps directory is located and 'metacat' is the name of your servlet
61
instance. If you leave your data directory where it currently is, your 
62
data files are web accessible.  If you do not want your data files to be 
63
web accessible, move the data directory somewhere outside of your 
64
webapps directory and change the datafilepath property in the
65
build.xml file and reinstall metacat.  Note that if you have existing data
66
files, they need to be moved to the new directory.  For more information 
67
see bug 478.

91
  New features in 1.1.0:
92
  1) Added functionality to export a zipped data package. The zip file contains
93
     all of the data and metadata as well as a rendered html summary of
94
     the metadata.
95
  2) Changed version control mechanism.  Metacat can now accept any version of
96
     a document as long as the given version number is greater than the
97
     current one.  The new version number does not have to be exactly one
98
     greater than the current version.
99
  3) Update xerces.jar file to version 1.4.4
100
  Fixes in 1.1.0
101
   1) Fixed ldap authentication bug.  Now, a user from a referred server cannot
102
      login with an incorrect password.
103
   2) Changed the default behavior of the access control functionality with
104
      respect to packaging.
105
      If a member document in a data package doesn't have an access control list,
106
      access control rules of the main package document will not apply to the
107
      member document.  Previously, package members, by default, inherited
108
      the access control rules of the main package document.
109
   3) Fixed minor bugs with document access control.
110
   4) Allowed new version of data files to be uploaded and handled.
111
   5) Fixed bug where the client could not get the principals or groups from
112
      the ldap server.
113
  Fixes in 1.0.3
114
   1) Fixed problem with Metacat not being able to query for group names when
115
      and LDAP referral server was down.  Added an LDAP timeout of 5 seconds
116
      for all referral activity.
117
   2) Fixed problem where invalid xml characters such as ampersands (&) could
118
      be inserted into the resultset xml stream.
119
  Fixes in 1.0.2
120
   1) Fixed problem with LDAP locking up Metacat when a referral server
121
      was not available.
122
  Fixes in 1.0.1
123
   1) Fixed problem with authenticating using LDAP referrals
