Version History

Reverse chronological order - major features and bug fixes only.

Release 4.3.2912 - 11 September 2011

• Added a 'remote import' plugin that allows resource files and metadata to be remotely inserted and updated via XML over HTTP. This is useful for developers working on synchronisation with other systems.
• Added a tool to edit (rotate, brighten/darken, recreate) on the collection level.
• Several improvements to search performance.
• Updated German translation.
• Improved the spider indexable pages so they are more configurable. Added option to choose a user group so permissions are applied to resources/fields. Added option to choose which access levels are exposed.
• Added the ability to assign resource requests to users to approve/decline, as is already possible with research requests. Also added a 'decline reason' field which is e-mailed to the requesting user.
• Added the ability to hide a field from the resource view page when access to the resource is 'restricted'. This access level previously limited file downloads only but can now also be used to limit field access, for example if data stored in a metadata field is sensitive.
• Added disk_usage column on resource table so it's easier to calculate the total disk usage across resources, or across particular resource subsets. Set cron task to automatically update existing systems. Made the disk usage always visible on the team centre home page is it is very quick to calculate now.
