Release Notes
New and Improved
Updated versions of standard SPs
All standard Islandora 6.x solution packs have been updated for use in Islandora 7.x-1.1. These include:
Improved Large Image SP using OpenSeadragon viewer
The Large Image Solution Pack has been reconfigured to use OpenSeadragon, a "framework agnostic and completely open version of the Ajax-based Deep-Zoom viewer."
Improved Book SP with robust configuration options
The Book Solution Pack has been improved both in terms of stability and in the range of configuration options available to the user.
HOCR Highlights in Book and Newspaper SPs
Highlighting functionality is provided through the Islandora OCR module, which integrates Tesseract into the Islandora Paged Content module. It allows for creation of OCR and HOCR derivatives that can be appended to a page as a datastream.
Improved Solr Client
The Islandora Solr Search has gained new tools and features form the 6.x version. Solr search in 7.x can be configured to allow for auto-complete fields and comes with new pre-made blocks for sorting and displaying query results.
Responsive Theming Support
Islandora 7.x is designed to integrate cleanly with responsive Drupal themes such as AdaptiveTheme or Aether
MARCXML Module
The MARCXML Module is a plugin that works with all solution packs to add new options to ingest and view metadata in MARC (MAchine Readable Cataloging) format.
FITS module for extracting and displaying technical info
All standard solutions packs have been configured to work with the FITS Extractor modules, which adds technical metadata extraction via the File Information Tool Set (FITS).
Collection Manager
The collection management interface has undergone improvements in functionality.
General Improvements
Islandora 7.x-1.1 supports a new modular framework for viewers and other modules, most modules have gained a more detailed and robust set of configuration options over their 6.x predecessors, and a great dela of code clean-up has gone on behind the scenes to make this version of Islandora a much smoother and more stable piece of software since the beta release.
