7.0 Beta 4 Release Notes
Included in Beta 4
- Live Import framework support has been added to the Submission Form (and REST API
/api/integration/externalsources
endpoint)- Drag and drop a bibliographic file into Submission form or MyDSpace page to prepopulate it. Supported formats include ArXiv, CSV (or TSV), Endnote, Orcid, PubMed, RIS, Sherpa Journal or Publisher,
- Controlled Vocabulary support
- IP-based authorization lets you restrict (or provide access to) objects based on the user's IP address. This uses the same "authentication-ip.cfg" configuration as DSpace 6, allowing you to map IP ranges to specific DSpace Groups. Users within that IP range are added to the mapped DSpace Group for the remainder of their session.
- Basic Usage Statistics are available for the entire site (See "Statistics" menu at top of homepage), or specific Communities, Collections or Items (Click on that same "Statistics" menu after browsing to a specific object).
- Improved GDPR Alignment
- User Agreement required for all authenticated users to read and agree to. (Login for first time, and sample user agreement will display. After agreeing to it, it will not appear again.)
- Cookie Preferences are now available for all users (anonymous or authenticated). A cookie preference popup appears when first accessing the site. Users are given information on what cookies added by DSpace, including a Privacy Statement which can be used to describe how their data is used.
- User Accounts can be deleted even if they've submitted content in the past.
- When a user is deleted, their past submissions are kept but the submitter field is set to empty (null).
- Users cannot be deleted if they are the only member of a workflow approval group. Admins must either delete that group first, or assign another member to the group. This ensures Workflows are kept even if a user account needs to be deleted.
- Search Engine Optimization: Addition of robots.tx, Sitemaps and Google Scholar "citation" tags. These optimizations are being tested by the Google Scholar team and may be improved further in the upcoming beta 5 release.
- Curation Tasks are now supported via the Admin UI and the Processes UI. (Login as an Admin, select "Curation Tasks")
