Major bug fixes include:

  • Search and browse fixes:
    • Solr and Lucene special characters no longer cause search errors (DS-2339DS-2461DS-2472
    • Resolved issues jumping to values when browsing by item or date (DS-2571DS-2602)
  • OAI fixes:
    • Performing a full OAI import now also cleans the OAI cache (DS-2543)
    • Harvested items are now properly imported in OAI (DS-2554)
    • Tombstones (deleted item status) are now properly applied for withdrawn items (DS-2593)
      (
      note: this requires 'import' to be run, the OAI event consumer will not create tombstones automatically)

    • Item-level versioning now carries across all custom policies in new item versions (eg. embargos) (DS-2358)
  • Other notable fixes:
    • Optimized "Select Collection" query is now disabled by default as a workaround to ensure special group lookups (LDAP, Shibboleth) work out-of-the-box (DS-2673)
    • Resolved issue where citation_pdf_url metadata was NULL for items with multiple bitstreams but no primary bitstream (DS-2603)
