RELEASE NOTES - TIND 29.4.0 - DA/IR/RDM
We are pleased to announce TIND release 29.4.0. This is a minor release with a range of bug fixes and improvements across search, file downloads, dashboards, baskets, and metadata mapping. It also comes with accessibility fixes to search results, menus, and the Detailed View.
Highlights include support for multiple iFrame videos per record and citations for records without DOI. Contact TIND Support to activate these on your platform!
The 29.4.0 release schedule is as follows:
> Release 29.4.0 Sandbox & Early Release Instances
> Release 29.4.0 to all TIND instances
iFrame [DA]: Now supports displaying multiple links as a playlist, making it possible to add multiple iFrame links in the same record.
Citations Without a DOI [IR, RDM]: Records without a DOI can now display a formatted citation, using the same citation style/format options as DOI records. Please contact TIND Support to configure this for your instance.
Brief View Thumbnails [IR, RDM]: Irregularly sized PDF pages caused the thumbnail to extend beyond the brief view space due to a lack of max image height control. This is now enforced, and the image will be cropped at the correct height.
Universal Viewer [DA]: Improved the behaviour when downloading files that exceed the resolution threshold from the Universal Viewer. When an image area exceeds the limit, the user will now be presented with a standard error screen.
Date Range Search [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: Date-range search syntax (e.g. year:2000->2008) now also matches records with more precise dates (e.g. month or day-level dates), instead of only exact year matches.
Translations [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: Updated French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic and Chinese translations on the record page. Corrected the "Narrow by Collection" translation for Traditional Chinese (zh_TW).
Baskets Display [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: Fixed a display error when subscribing to the public basket which caused the record title to obscure the thumbnail.
DataCite / Related Identifiers [RDM]: The DataCite related-identifiers mapping can now support additional MARC fields in addition to the default 789 field.
Export [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: Fixed an issue where the export button and modal could show incorrect record counts, or appear to be missing, when a search result view was split by collection.
Author Profiles [IR, RDM]: Removed the misleading "type to add a custom department" placeholder text, since custom departments aren't supported.
Batch Download [DA, IR, RDM]: Improved the error shown to a user attempting to batch download as PDF images which are too large to be converted to PDF.
Batch Uploader [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: Batch uploads that finish with "DONE WITH ERRORS" now describe the error details in the log, instead of an empty log.
Submission Dashboards [IR, RDM]: Fixed reducing dashboard error messages related to failed table data fetches.
Submission Dashboards — Missing Records [IR, RDM]: Fixed an issue where certain records were not appearing in submission dashboards for some users.
Detailed View [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: Fixed keyboard navigation in the header menu on the Detailed View: Author Profiles is now reachable by keyboard.
Detailed View [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: Updated multi-viewer tabs with improved Aria information and to allow keyboard navigation.
Detailed View [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: Added appropriate labels to the citation buttons.
Header Menu [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: Reworked how top-level dropdown/hover menus behave so that expanded sub-menus can be dismissed.
Search Results [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: “status” Aria role was added to announce the number of search results.
Search Results [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: If the record has a file, file download specifies the file type in screen reader announcement.
Search Results [DA, ILS, IR, RDM]: H1 header added to the page.
Submission Forms [IR, RDM]: Accessible names were added to authority search button on submission forms.
Submission Forms [IR, RDM]: Placeholder text were darkened for sufficient contrast for low visibility users.
