Editing EPrints 3.4.4 (section)

=== Known Issues ===

==== LDAP-based authentication for new users ====
If you use LDAP-based authentication to login users and your <tt>$c->{check_user_password}</tt> function includes code that creates new user accounts on-the-fly if they do not already is exists in EPrints, then users without a pre-existing user account will no longer be able to login.  This is due to code implemented to allow user accounts to be locked if there were too many consecutive failed login attempts.  '''[https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4/commit/8d89b36a78f0be26656fffacde5c36b1b97e16db This patch]''' has been created to fix the issue by not requiring a user account to exist, which means a new user account can be created but there can be no restriction on how many times non-registered user can attempt to login as there is no user account that can be locked.

==== JavaScript and CSS caching ====
JavaScript and CSS in <tt>static/javascript/auto/</tt> and <tt>static/style/auto/</tt> directories can be updated without the <tt>/javascript/auto-VERSION.js</tt> and  <tt>/style/auto-VERSION.css</tt> loaded in page template being updated unless the server-side cached versions in the archive's <tt>html/LANG/javascript/</tt> and <tt>html/LANG/style/</tt> directories being purged.  This was due to an intended improvement adding incrementing parameter to the links in the page template to better expiry the client-side caching or these files. '''[[:File:Auto-JavaScript-CSS-cache.patch|This patch]]''' should fix the issue.

==== Subject tree based browse views ====
If a browse view uses a <tt>subject</tt> field like <tt>subjects</tt> or <tt>divisions</tt> the number of items listed under ancestor (e.g. parent) divisions will be wrong.  '''[https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4/commit/c93f6be3d756ac4cf8b835a18f3f16f64758c99e This patch]''' can be applied to fix the issue.

==== Decimal MetaField ====
If you add a field (e.g. to your archive's <tt>cfg/cfg.d/eprint_fields.pl</tt>.  Then 
 Couldn't parse EPrints::MetaField::Decimal: syntax error at /opt/eprints3/bin/../perl_lib/EPrints/MetaField/Decimal.pm line 80, near "->get_max_input_size 
				'aria-labelledby'"
This is due the a typo in the Decimal MetaField which is not used by default, only if the configuration for a field with <tt>type => 'decimal'</tt> is defined.  This can be simply fixed by add a comma (,) at the end of the following line:
 maxlength=>$self->get_max_input_size
