Islandora 11.3.1 was released on January 10th, 2012. The following release notes cover both this minor release and the full 11.3.0 release (December 20th, 2011).
h2. New and Changed Features
To test-drive a live demo of the new Islandora release, complete with the new features listed below, please visit the [Islandora Sandbox|http://sandbox.islandora.ca] (Username: admin \| Password: islandora).
h3. Collection Manager
The Collection Manager is now a separate, optional module. However, in most cases you will want to enable this module in order to perform important functions, such as creating and managing collections.
h3. Batch Ingest
The Batch Ingest tool is a separate, optional module. This tool, which was originally added in Islandora 11.2, allows you to upload a ZIP file containing a number of audio, basic image, large image, or PDF files. These files may optionally include associated XML metadata files - if you choose not to include such files, basic metadata records will be created using the filenames as titles. Each object created via batch ingest will have both DC and MODS Datastreams.
h3. Book Module
The book module has been expanded to include book and page management functions. You can access the book management options under the 'Manage This Book' tab. The following functions are available:
* Collection Membership: You can associate this book with additional collections. If the book is a member of more than one collection you can delete additional associations one at a time until the book belongs to only a single collection.
* View Metadata: This fieldset displays the available DC metadata for the book.
* Update Derived Datastreams: Here, you can refresh the OCR process for the book, reprocess the pages to create a new set of derived images, or regenerate the PDF for the entire book.
* Manage Current Datastreams: This fieldset allows you to view and manage the Datastreams associated with the book object.
* Permanently Delete This Book: Finally, you can delete the book and all associated pages.
You can access the page management functions by first clicking the new 'Pages' tab while viewing a book object; this will display thumbnails of each page. Click on an individual page to view it, then click the Manage This Page Object tab to bring up a list of page management functions:
* View Metadata: This fieldset displays the available metadata for the page (in most cases this will be brief).
* Update Derived Datastreams: Here, you can refresh the OCR process for this particular page and/or reprocess the page to create a new set of derived images.
* Manage Current Datastreams: This fieldset allows you to view and manage the Datastreams associated with this particular page.
* Add Additional Datastreams: You can manually add relevant Datastreams by using the functions in this fieldset.
* Permanently Delete This Page: Finally, you can delete the page itself, while leaving the rest of the book intact.
h3. Namespaces
The default collections created by the Solution Packs now all use the 'islandora' namespace. If you are upgrading from the Islandora 11.2 release, this will create a new Book Collection with the PID 'islandora:bookCollection'. Your old collections will not be affected in any way by the new collection.
h3. Solr
Our Solr interface has some new features for developers.
We now have an optional sort field - the default Solr sort field is 'score'; this is normally the best choice, but it can now be overridden by any stored, unique, untokenized field (except Date). If you wish to sort by date, use a copyfield in your schema to create a string.
Snippets may now be selected in the Solr admin interface. The default list view will now return snippets if a suitable field is selected. If you'd like to harvest snippets for a custom view you'll find the snippets results within the 'highlighting' array of the response object.
Of interest to developers - we now trigger module_invoke_all from the IslandoraSolrQueryProcessor, allowing your configuration module to make any customization to your query before its run against the solr's lucene index. Params and filters can be added or removed at this stage.

A beta version of the new Video Solution Pack is being released with Islandora 12.1.0. This solution pack will ingest a video file, convert it to MKV (archival format), MP4 and OGG (derivative formats). The video will be displayed using the JW Player in either MP4 or OGG format (depending on the browser being used). Details and installation notes can be found in the Video Solution Pack section. Information on the required dependencies is in Chapter 12 - Installing Solution Pack Dependencies.
| Note |
|---|
Please ensure that your video files are in a format supported by FFmpeg and that all required libraries are installed. |
The Collection Manager now includes the following features:
The Harvester module has been improved to allow more flexibility in labeling column headers. In the previous version, column headers needed to map directly to DC metadata (e.g. dc:title, dc:subject, etc.). The new version of the Harvester will accept the following header formats (using dc.title as an example):
Capitalization will also be ignored.
The Solr module now includes the following features:
Technical metadata for basic and large images is now being extracted via EXIFTool. This metadata can be found in the list of Datastreams under Detailed List of Content.
The Book Solution Pack is undergoing a major upgrade, including a new viewer and additional management functionality. This new version will be released as a separate download in a few weeks. It will be fully documented at that time.
Most modules have been updated for this release, but any that have not been updated will retain their version from the last release (6.x-11.3.1). They have been provided in this list, but if you already have the 6.x-11.3.1 version installed you need not replace it.
