Summary
The Fedora 4.7.0 release furthers several major objectives:
...
| Note |
|---|
This release is a major release (i.e. 4.7.0 instead of 4.6.1) because of the upgrade in an underlying application, Modeshape 5. This requires a backend data upgrade. See the "ModeShape 5 Upgrade" section below for details. The deprecated filesystem federation connector has been removed from the core codebase and into a separate module. |
Changes
ModeShape 5 Upgrade
This release represents a significant change to Fedora's underlying persistence implementation. The ModeShape application over which the Fedora implementation is built has seen a major upgrade. As a part of that upgrade, the object persistence layer has changed from using a product called Infinispan to native, pluggable, support for storage backends including JDBC stores such as PostgreSQL and MySQL.
...
In the event that an error is experience during the restore process, the Fedora Upgrade Utility may be used.
Replace fcrepo-transform with a LDPath service
The extension module fcrepo-transform is not included in the 4.7.0 release of Fedora. This module was used to transform RDF resources into JSON using programs based on LDPath. The functionality provided by fcrepo-transform is now available in the fcrepo-ldpath component of the fcrepo-camel-toolbox project.
...
Additional information about LDPath can be found on the Marmotta website: http://marmotta.apache.org/ldpath/language.html
