Summary
The Fedora 4.7.1 release is a backwards compatible refinement of the previous release, focused on improvements and bug fixes to the REST-API and the core code base.
Changes
Application Programming Interface
Much of the application programming interface updates in this release relate to correcting response headers.
Additionally, with the help of community input, iteration on the Fedora API Specification continues: http://fedora.info/spec/
Deprecations
- Support for the previously deprecated File System Federation capability has discontinued and the module has been removed from the fcrepo-webapp-plus project.
- The /fcr:backup and /fcr:restore endpoints have been deprecated and will be moving to an extension module in a future release of Fedora. This capability will continue to be available until the Import/Export functionality fully supports backup/restore use cases.
