  • All DSpaceObject-inheriting classes now have metadata. The UIs don't yet take advantage of them in this release.

 

Release TODO list

  • Solr index format upgrade from 1.6,1.7,1.8 to 5 currently requires manual, undocumented steps (see below). 2 options:
    1. We automate it - Seems more difficult than anticipated. There is no longer any way to easily get the Index version, as "getCurrentVersion()" has been removed (see below).
    2. We document it - Currently documented in the 5.x Upgrade instructions (step #12)

    Seems like we have 2 options:
    1. put Tomcat-specific code to JSPUI's web.xml
    2. just document this Tomcat 7-specific warning
      On DevMtg 2014-11-05 we decided to document for RC1 and decide before RC2
