Islandora 6.x-13.1.x is a release the represents many small changes and back-end improvements rather than a major change in the functionality that users have become accustomed to. The underlying code is more stable and streamlined and a large number of bugs, both major and minor, have been addressed (see Bug Fixes below). Four new modules are included as part of this release, adding new tools and functionality to Islandora:
The Islandora Autocomplete module allows users to define auto-complete URL's to be used in a Drupal forms in conjuction with the #autocomplete property of form elements.

Islandora autocomplete is case sensitive. For more details on this module and how to use it, please visit Chapter 5: Autocomplete Module
The XACML Editor module allows users with sufficient permissions to configure XACML policy on a per-collection or per-object basis through a graphical user interface instead of by writing the policies in XML. For more details on this module and how to use it, please visit Chapter 5: XACML Editor.
