Release Notes for 1.6.0: |
|
52 |
------------------------ |
|
53 |
|
|
54 |
This release comes with more performance improvements, initial support for |
|
55 |
LSIDs (Life Sciences Identifiers) and FGDC standard, more controls for |
|
56 |
Metacat administrators and bug fixes. Below is the list of bug fixes and |
|
57 |
performance improvements. |
|
58 |
|
|
59 |
Bug Fixes: |
|
60 |
* Improved the indexing algorithm. Earlier indexing failed for some documents |
|
61 |
randomly and used to take a lot of time to complete for others. The |
|
62 |
code for indexing was changed to take care of both these problems. |
|
63 |
* Earlier, xmlns prefix was used to determine the namespace of the document. |
|
64 |
Now schemaLocation is used instead xmlns prefix to determine the namespace |
|
65 |
of the document as that is a better indicator of document type. |
|
66 |
* INSTR was used in some SQL statements and it is not supported by Postgres. |
|
67 |
So SQL statements were modified so that INSTR is not used. |
|
68 |
* Replication was changed to include replication of deleted documents also. |
|
69 |
|
|
70 |
New Features: |
|
71 |
* Added FGDC schema and XSLT so that Metacat can handle FGDC standard |
|
72 |
* Added support for LSID. This includes modifying the stylesheets to |
|
73 |
display the LSIDs, modifying the build to include a new target |
|
74 |
'install-ldap'. |
|
75 |
* Added following access control levels to Metacat: |
|
76 |
1. Administrators - users who can do the following: |
|
77 |
a. Run replication |
|
78 |
b. Delete any document |
|
79 |
c. Modify any document |
|
80 |
d. run indexing for any document |
|
81 |
e. check the logs |
|
82 |
2. allowedUsers - User who are allowed to submit |
|
83 |
3. deniedUsers - Users not allowed to submit |
|
84 |
* Added a new skin for Ecological Society of America. |
|
85 |
|
|
86 |
Performance: |
|
87 |
* Reduced size of xml_nodes by creating a new table for holding nodes from |
|
88 |
deleted documents and old revisions of the documents. |
|
89 |
* Provided a new variable in metacat.properties where more frequently searched |
|
90 |
for paths can be specified. Seperate indexes are created for these paths |
|
91 |
- so that search is faster. |
