Known Issues

Running generate_apacheconf with an archive without a cfg/static/javascript/auto/ directory

If you are upgrading an EPrints repository and your archive(s) do not have a cfg/static/javascript/auto/ directory then bin/generate_apacheconf will fail. This is because 3.4.6 introduces code that makes sure that the maximum upload limit is configured to be the same in the Apache configuration and in EPrints' JavaScript, which prevents you from trying to upload files larger than a certain size. This is useful because if you just updated the JavaScript, EPrints would allow the upload to start but would then fail when the Apache limit was reached. So not only would you not be able to upload the file but you would waste a load of time and possibly not understand why the upload failed.

To fix this issue for this version of EPrints, just make sure your archive (or archives) all have a cfg/static/javascript/auto/ before running bin/generate_apacheconf. Future versions of EPrints will automatically create this directory if it does not already exist.

Subject search does not work in workflows

If you have a subject field which renders as a subject tree in a workflow, the search form will not work. This is due to the fix for ensuring Xapian respect a MetaField's text_index value. This has the consequence of not indexing the ancestors field for subjects. This is used by the search to filter out subjects that are not part of the subject sub-tree for a particular MetaField. This patch fixes the issue. However, you will also need to re-index all subjects:

EPRINTS_PATH/bin/epadmin reindex ARCHIVE_ID subject

Approved document requests still force user to login

This issue was caused by setting the samesite attribute for the eprints_doc_request cookie to Strict, this cookie is intended to allow the user to access the restricted document for the remainder of their session. Changing this attributes means some browsers (e.g. Firefox) still send the user to a login page even when clicking the approved request link in the email they received. This is because the change made to the cookie prevents its from being stored because /cgi/process_request never fully serves a page. This patch fixes the the issue.
