New Features in EPrints 3.3.x
This list will be fleshed out as we get closer to a final release.
EPrints Bazaar
"1-click" extensions and add-ons
Search engine plugins
Searches are now executed through the plugins layer with a new 'Search' plugin type. EPrints 3.3 comes with one new search engine: Xapian. Xapian is a probabilistic search engine that supports boolean queries. Requires the Search::Xapian Perl library and a full re-index.
The Internal search engine supports prefixed terms in simple search e.g. "title:(american eagle) birds".
XSLT-based Imports, Exports and Citation Styles
If XML::LibXSLT is installed import and export plugins and citation styles can now be written using the XSLT language (XML stylesheets). XSLT export plugins support "templating" to add headers and footers to the export.
Flexible object support
Define any new object classes which can be created, browsed, searched etc.
SWORD 2.0/CRUD support
Improved workflow and document management
AJAX-based upload, deletion and updates of documents. Files now upload automatically and have a progress bar that works in all current browsers.
Document "actions" are now individual plugins allowing extensions to add actions to individual documents in the workflow. Supplied actions include conversion, unpacking (.zip and .tar.gz), additional files and metadata extraction.
Import workflows
Import plugins can now have a sibling Screen plugin that provides the interface for using that importer.
Upgrade Notes
- Backup your database before installing this update. While upgrading has been tested you should always backup your repository before installing updates that change your database schema.
- This is a new branch release that will make significant changes to your repository's database and configuration. Upgrading repositories may require fixes to appearance and/or configuration to continue working.
