Page History

Here are the release notes for the most recent version of Islandora, as well as links to the appropriate Github repositories. Islandora is released twice a year. Rather than waiting for the release, some institutions prefer to run closer to the most recent code (known as HEAD or the 7.x branch), where bugs might be fixed or new features added. If you encounter a bug in the release (there are always known issues), it's a good idea to review the Github repository for that module to see if a fix has been submitted. Islandora runs a continuous integration testing framework, which means that new code for Islandora is always tested before being merged.

Release Notes

Some quick notes on community and contribution:

• Readme/Maintainers and License audits were done before Code Freeze, which allowed us to have much more time for bug fixing and testing.
• Complete License normalization was done. Used GNU General Public License v3.0 is now exactly tin every repository.
• Drupal Filter was added to our release process, which means: it gets a release branch and a proper matching release. Current version is now at 7.1.9, head/master at 7.1.10-SNAPSHOT
• PHP 7.0.x and 7.1.x were added to our Travis-CI test matrix and are fully supported now.

deprecations, new versions and fixes:

• Islandora Internet Archive Bookreader is now using IA BookReader v2.x.
• Islandora Badges has deprecated its islandora_badges_get_doi() function in favour of islandora_badges_get_identifier_value()
• Islandora Scholar now uses v2.1.7 of the Citeproc utility.
