Changes, improvements and fixes

• DOI [IR/RDM]: When uploading a file containing records with the CREATE_DOI function to the batch uploader, instances of duplicate names or other data not allowed by DataCite will block the DOI creation. The logs for this previously provided little information about what was causing the DOI creation to be blocked. These error messages have now been improved.

• Email Notifications [ILS, DA, RDM, IR]: Text in email notifications to users did not wrap properly when recipient was using Outlook on mobile. This has now been fixed.

• File Manager [DA, RDM, IR]: A file upload could fail silently if the file manager was left open for too long without saving after the file upload had completed. This has now been fixed.

• IIIF Improvements [DA]: Previously, when excluding files with status Restricted from the IIIF manifest, files with status Public attached to restricted records were also excluded from the manifest. This has now been changed, allowing admins to preview images in restricted records.

Translations

• Cite button is now translated into French.

• Message displayed in searches with no results is now translated into Arabic, Chinese, French, Norwegian, Russian and Spanish.
