-------------------------------------------------------------------- CDSware v0.3.0 (DEVELOPMENT) is released March 5, 2004 http://cdsware.cern.ch/news/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- CDSware v0.3.0 (DEVELOPMENT) was released on March 5th, 2003. What's new: * new development branch release (important SQL table changes) * introducing a new submission engine and the end-user web interface (WebSubmit) * bibupload is now a BibSched task with new options (BibUpload) * BibWords renamed into BibIndex in the view of future phrase indexing changes (BibIndex) * more secure DB server connectivity (BibSched) * record matching functionality (BibConvert) * character encoding conversion tables (BibConvert) * Qualified Dublin Core conversion example (BibConvert) * OAI deleted recods policy can now be specified (BibHarvest) * multi-language collection portalboxes (WebSearch) * HTML pages now respect language selections (WebSearch, WebHelp) * minor layout changes (WebStyle) * updated Russian and other translations * ChangeLog is now generated from CVS log messages * plus the usual set of bugfixes (see ChangeLog) Download: Notes: The minor version number of the development branch was bumped to indicate important SQL table structure changes. An upgrade from CDSware v0.1.x is relatively easy though. Please contact us if you want some hints in this direction. (We do not provide an upgrade script automatically in the tarball because of the development branch nature of the release.) CDSware v0.3.0 now includes the first Pythonic DEVELOPMENT version of the WebSubmit module. We encourage you to test it. Users of v0.0.9 are however advised to stay with their system until a STABLE release is announced. Known problems: Several important admin-level functionality of v0.0.9 is still missing in v0.3.0. These issues will be subsequently dealt with in the next releases of the v0.3.x development branch. What's next: Fixing known problems described above. Developing BibIndex for better phrase indexing and browsing. Introducing BibRank to provide basic ranking features.
