Page History

Here are the release notes for the most recent version of Islandora, as well as links to the appropriate Github repositories. Islandora is released twice a year. Rather than waiting for the release, some institutions prefer to run closer to the most recent code, where bugs might be fixed or new features added. If you encounter a bug in the release (there are always known issues), it's a good idea to review the Github repository for that module to see if a fix has been submitted. Islandora runs a continuous integration testing framework, which means that new code for Islandora is always tested before being merged.

Release Notes

Some quick notes on community and contribution:

• Readme/Maintainers and License audits were done before Code Freeze, which allowed us to have much more time for bug fixing and testing.
• Complete License normalization was done. Used GNU General Public License v3.0 is now exactly tin every repository.
• Drupal Filter was added to our release process, which means: it gets a release branch and a proper matching release. Current version is now at 7.1.9, head/master at 7.1.10-SNAPSHOT
• PHP 7.0.x and 7.1.x were added to our Travis-CI test matrix and are fully supported now
• Modules now contain a .github folder; we will be using this going forward to store a template for making pull requests that should be filled out when contributing.
• We're now maintaining an Awesome list at https://github.com/Islandora-Labs/islandora_awesome where users can take a look at some modules that aren't currently in the core rotation but could get added someday with enough love.
• For this and future releases, we've begun auditing ontologies in core. Head over to https://github.com/Islandora/islandora_ontology to check it out.
