RELEASE NOTES - TIND 1.19.1
IR / DA / RDM
We are happy to announce the TIND 1.19.1 release. This is a minor release with a major amount of bug fixes!
The release schedule is as follows:
> Release 1.19.1 Sandbox & Early Release Instances
> Release 1.19.1 to all TIND instances
Administration | All]
TIND removed admin pages that were only helpful to internal TIND staff and did not provide any functions or insights for local TIND admins.
[Advanced Search | IR, RDM]
Certain characters in field labels would cause an error in the search interface. The characters are now correctly escaped in the interface.
[Authority Lookup | All]
When editing an already authorised field, the authority lookup did not reappear and subfields from the authority record would be re-added if an authority was selected.
The logic has been updated to comply with the authority auto-update behaviour, where all subfields above the $0 will be removed automatically and subfields below (including other authorised subfields) will remain.
[Batch Editor | All]
TIND was delivering multiple failed e-mails when it could not find valid email addresses. TIND now uses the user’s email address based on the user's ID instead of the nickname.
[Batch Uploader | All]
When using the 035 field to identify records and deleting metadata fields with the --delete option, the ID field would also be deleted. The ID field is now preserved.
[Batch Uploader | All]
Admin users can now see their full batch upload history in the Upload History tab.
[Brief View | All]
For users without access to Baskets but edit rights in the record editor, the checkboxes allowing selection of multiple records in the brief view were not displaying. This has now been fixed.
[Detailed View | DA]
Records with a large number of files could experience an increase in loading time due to shcema.org metadata generation. This process has now been optimised.
[Detailed View | IR, RDM]
In the French version of the PDF viewer, the PDF selector prompt wrapped text onto two lines. This has been adjusted to fit in one line.
[Detailed View | All]
Before the new Detailed View was in place, TIND used different pages to see different information. For example, attached files were found under specific endpoints. These endpoints are no longer used, and TIND removed these tabs from being displayed and deactivated the endpoints.
[Display / Search |All]
The use of ampersands (&) in bib records, for example in the 710 and 720 fields, would cause Advanced Search to yield inconsistent results and has now been fixed to retrieve the records accurately.
[Displays | All]
TIND adjusted previously overlapping text in the footer of the mobile view, specifically the text: Powered by TIND at the bottom of the page.
[File Manager | RDM, DA, IR]
When editing files with linked format files in the file manager, a situation could occur where the status field wrongly became uneditable if you had previously opened a format file in the edit modal.
[File Manager | RDM, DA, IR]
Compressed files with the .tar.bz2 could be uploaded but not downloaded in the interface. This problem was related to file format splitting on the backend and has now been fixed.
[File Manager / Batch Uploader | DA, IR, RDM]
There will be significant improvements to the speed of file ingestion, specifically where many files are added to a single record in batch.
[Import | IR]
The first author was previously not picked up and listed in the bib record when performing an arXiv import, instead requiring the author to be entered manually. This has been fixed.
[Knowledge Base | All]
Removed a message indicating duplication of terms across different knowledge bases. This message will now only appear if the term already exists in the same KB.
[Knowledge Base | All]
There was a bug when editing a knowledge base “From” value, causing edits not to be saved. This has now been fixed.
[MARC Export | All]
The Marc export from the Detailed View did not provide a proper Marc binary output file.
To fix this and consolidate the export options better, the following changes have been implemented:
[Record Editor / Authority Lookup | All]
When adding or updating authorised fields in the record editor, the existing subfields from the authority record would remain and be added again if selecting the same or a new authority. This behaviour has now been changed to align with how the auto-update functionality works.
Re-authorising a field in the record editor:
[Record Editor, Authority Lookup | All]
In certain situations, selecting an authority in the record editor would not lead to an authorised field, meaning no subfields and ID field were added even though there was a match. This was caused by the record editor prematurely closing the authority modal, and has now been fixed.
[SEO | All]
Records were not getting picked up by Google Scholar or Google Dataset Search. TIND made improvements to metadata tags to better monitor google site verification.
[Statistics | DA, IR, RDM]
TIND IR, RDM, and DA customers have had the Statistics in Detailed View updated to display All Assets by default.
[Submission Workflows | IR, RDM, DA]
The default submission workflows have been updated to support empty values in the update_record function.
[Translations | All]
TIND added additional Norwegian translations where the terms were identified as missing in file table, item table, detailed view, and dashboard.
[Universal Viewer | DA, RDM]
The embed functionality is now back in the Universal Viewer after a temporary absence.
[Users & Access | All]
Updated several pages within the Users & Access module to ensure the menu panel on the right is not repositioned due to the content size of the main panel.
[Users | All]
The Popular Search link in the Your Alerts feature previously yielded no results after TIND’s ElasticSearch upgrade and has since been fixed.
[Universal Viewer | DA, RDM]
The Universal Viewer pagination has been updated to show the first and last pages of results.
[Universal Viewer | DA, RDM]
Successfully highlighted search terms found within Universal Viewer would disappear when moving between pages. This has been fixed so terms remain highlighted.
[Advanced Search| All Products]
Improved Advanced Search (Customer Release) is tentatively scheduled for the 1.21 release after receiving additional beta feedback from users.
