  • Updated Web Services framework. Fedora 3.6 incorporates work from the Google Summer of Code project to move from the aging Axis 1.3 library to Apache CXF. This allows Fedora to support MTOM, which provides a 33% size efficiency over Base64 encoded transmission.
  • Support lowlevel storage metadata. Fedora now includes a hints provider API, allowing implementations to pass such metadata as mimetype or collection membership to be passed to the low-level storage module. This would allow, for example, the low-level storage module to make decisions about where objects or datastreams are stored based on the provided metadata.
  • Expanded Spring-based configuration. Support for Spring configuration of Fedora has been expanded to include the Server module, SOAP and REST APIs.
  • Oracle support for MPTStore. Fedora includes the latest Trippi and MPTStore libraries, which now support Oracle as the backing database for MPTStore.
  • REST API support for the getDatastreams method. The REST API now supports the API-M getDatastreams method. All of the SOAP API-M methods are now supported by Fedora's REST API.
  • Updated REST API Validation failure response codes. If a REST API management operation results in a validation failure (e.g. ingest FOXML validation, validation failure via the DOObjectValidator module) the HTTP response code is now 400. Previously Fedora reported a generic Server Failure 500 response code. The response body indicates the nature of the validation error.Support lowlevel storage metadata. Fedora now includes a hints provider API, allowing implementations to pass such metadata as mimetype or collection membership to be passed to the low-level storage module. This would allow, for example, the low-level storage module to make decisions about where objects or datastreams are stored based on the provided metadata.
  • Legacy authentication module EOL. The legacy authentication module, deprecated since Fedora 3.4, will be phased out in the next Fedora release.Expanded Spring-based configuration. Support for Spring configuration of Fedora has been expanded to include the Server module, SOAP and REST APIs.
  • fcrepo-client-messaging library deprecated. The fcrepo-client-messaging library has been deprecated in favor of the fedora-client messaging library.
