We are happy to announce the TIND 1.9.1 release! 🎉
This release mainly involves several early access features that we are working on, which will have general availability later. We’ve also been working on several bugs and problems, as well as some smaller improvements in the submission form.
[Submission Forms | IR DA RDM]
Multi-input elements can now be reordered by clicking and dragging with the drag handler on the left side of an input group. This allows a list of authors, for example, to be reordered using the multi-input elements directly.
[Submission Forms | IR DA RDM]
We’ve made submission form record imports and multi-input elements compatible. This means that when importing a record into a submission form, the multi-input elements will be correctly filled with data coming from the record. Previously, these input fields would be left unfilled.
[Search | IR DA RDM]
When clicking on a PDF thumbnail for a search result, it can be configured to open either an in-page previewer modal (the current, default behavior) or open a new tab with a full-page PDF viewer.
The full-page PDF viewer uses the same technology as the PDF previewer in the record page view, except that the viewer fills the entire page.
To configure this, please contact TIND Support.
[Misc | ILS IR DA RDM]
For the record page view we’ve updated several HTML attributes on the media previewers, i.e. the universal viewer, the PDF viewer and the inline frame viewer. We’ve also set a slightly darker black color on certain non-link text, in order to have sufficient contrast.
For the search results pages, we’ve added aria-label and made some adjustments to hidden form elements. At the bottom of the page, we’ve made the links to email alerts and RSS feeds more compliant in terms of color and visibility.
[Integrations | ILS IR DA RDM] Generating a DOI with DataCite no longer requires a creator (i.e. MARC fields 1xx or 7xx). If no such field can be found, the DOI record will be created with a creatorName set to (:unas).
Read more about this in the documentation.
[Circulation | ILS] When editing existing circulation definitions, e.g. Patron Types and Locations, a Global Lists reindex for any affected items will be automatically scheduled for outside working hours.
Previously, no reindex would be scheduled at all, leading to inconsistent data shown in Global Lists.
Staff will see an alert on these edit pages, informing them of when the reindex will be executed.
Read more about this in the documentation.
[Search | ILS] The “View e-resource” link on a search result has been changed for records with multiple electronic resource links (e.g. 85640u). These will now render the text “Multiple e-resources available”, and the link will point to the record itself. Previously, the “View e-resource” link would point to the first electronic resource link.
[Record Page | ILS IR DA RDM] The default authority record template has been updated to remove the links from the Use for entries. In the default ILS record template, the Awards field could sometimes render incorrectly. Also in the default ILS record, 867 and 868 were added as source tags for the Holdings field.
[Misc | ILS IR DA RDM] The MathJax library was updated from version 2.7.1 to 2.7.7.
[Global Lists | ILS] Fixed a bug where attempting to search with the patron_type index would always return 0 results.
[Global Lists | ILS] Fixed some internal inconsistencies in the way Global Lists data types, index names and column names were configured.
[Global Lists | ILS] Fixed a problem where patron records with blocks that were batch updated could appear to have no blocks.
[Workflows | ILS] Fixed a problem where, after editing a workflow definition, the page would not alert you when attempting to leave without saving.
[Integrations | ILS IR DA RDM] Fixed an encoding problem in the Search API for the XML response format. The Content-Type response header is now changed from application/xml to application/xml; charset=UTF-8.
[Object Editors | ILS] Fixed a bug where fields would show escaped values, e.g. rendering as & instead of plain &.
[Statistics | ILS] Fixed a problem where having a fee limit on a patron type would cause the circulation statistics pages to report an internal server error.
[Search | ILS] Links on book cover images are now always HTTPS, fixing a problem where some browsers would alert about security problems because of insecure links.
[Record Page | ILS IR DA RDM] Fixed a problem where the default search link for some display elements would search in a nonexistent index.
