Page History

...

• Major frontend performance improvements: initial page load is much quicker.  All assets are now zipped/minified.  Caching improvements.
• Frontend can be easily run from a subpath (e.g. https://my.university.edu/dspace) (Donated by Harvard University, developed by William Welling )
• "custom" theme was throwing TypeErrors in 7.2. That has been fixed.
• Renamed "private/public" status to be "non-discoverable/discoverable", which is more accurate. This item status just meant the item was not findable/discoverable through DSpace search/browse. It has nothing to do with whether the item is accessible or not accessible anonymously.
• Added "Now Showing..." informational counts to all Browse By pages (similar to in 6.x)
• Changed Browse "jump to" boxes to act as a filter, rather than jumping to a specific page. Updated display to make this clearer.
• Fixed several bugs related to resource policies
  • Couldn't set an end date on a resource policy in some situations
  • Couldn't edit an existing resource policy (previously you had to delete & recreate the policy)
• Fixed bug where resubmitting an Item move could result in Item deletion.
• Fixed several bugs in submission form, including
  
  • Improved form validation and error display
  • Occasionally, null metadata values were being saved
  • In some scenarios, submissions could be completed without agreeing to license.
  • Fixed bug where Creative Commons step wasn't loading properly when configured
  • Fixed bug where radio buttons were not working properly when submission field was set as a "list" that was not repeatable.
  • Fixed several bugs in bitstream editing form
• Fixed bug with browse by issue date wouldn't work if it encountered an invalid date in the first item. (Donated by 4Science)
• Fixed bug where bitstream edit page wouldn't load if a bitstream's access policies were all deleted.
• Fixed bug where restricted bitstream downloads were not checking a user's "special groups" which may provide them permissions. (Donated by 4Science)
• Frontend has been upgraded to Angular 13.
• Backend has been updated to Spring Boot 2.6
• Numerous other dependency updates
• See the 7.3 milestone for frontend and backend for a list of all changes applied in 7.3.
