Metacat

escape reserved XML characters when constructing a pathquery from user input (&). https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3017

Use solr query instead of path query in the NCEAS skin. https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/5917

enable solr results rendering on the server side for the NCEAS skin (does not include UI for generating the query yet). https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/5917

use charset=UTF-8 for the meta tag (especially important if other international sites want to use default skin with translations)

Allow use of server-side XSLT for SOLR queries that include "wt=<qformat>". https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/5812

remove explicit reference to KNB when Metacat may not be deployed as the KNB node. This has bothered my for a while, too. https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3736

wordsmith the identity mapping page. Not fundamentally different, but hopefully more concise. http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5814

PARC, OBFS, NRS: use only the paths that are indexed by default in metacat.properties. If deployments want to cusotmize these, they are free to do so, but we should ship skins that match the paths we index with a vanilla installation.

remove duplicate cgi-bin part in path to create account

correct the "?" links in the admin pages to the docs pages that are deployed as part of metacat.
