OpenAtlas: OpenAtlas 7.5.0 released

Added by Alexander Watzinger about 2 years ago

In this release the form functions were completely rewritten, noticeable changes are listed below. A complete list of changes is available here: 7.5.0.

News for Users
  • Forms
    • Types can now be added dynamically in forms (with at least editor permissions) (#1690)
    • Empty type fields are not shown anymore to not clutter the user interface (#1761)
    • Improved validations (#1768)
  • Archeological subunits can now be linked like places, e.g. with events (#1637:)
  • Improved user statistics (#1737)
  • Manual
    • Entities are linked to the respective CIDOC documentation (#1710)
    • Additional FAQs (#1726)

Managers
At the type overview there are warnings displayed in case the specific type won't show up in forms because it either has no connections to classes or no sub types to select.
You might want to check them to clean up.

API
  • If no timestamp is available, the LPF now returns the value null instead of the string None (#1767)
  • The show parameter has a new option description (#1783) and will also work with GeoJSON format (#1782)

OpenAtlas: OpenAtlas 7.3.0 released

Added by Alexander Watzinger over 2 years ago

In this release we worked mostly on improving existing features, especially when working with types.
A complete list of changes is available here: 7.3.0.

News for users
  • Types set to multiple can now be switched to single if there are no multiple linked entities. You can check for multiple links in the type overview (#1501)
  • A type can now be removed even if it has subs and/or linked entities. A warning page showing concerning subs and entities will be shown (#1498)
  • Users with the contributor role can now only delete entries they have created themselves (#1388)
  • API performance improvements which are advantageous for e.g. presentation sites (#1655)

  • After doing software updates you can use the script install/upgrade/update_database.py to update the database as well. It can be used over multiple releases beginning from 6.6.0 (#1604)
  • gis database schema tables were merged into one table at the model schema. In case external applications depend on direct database access you should take care about that (#1631)
  • With the next release (7.4.0) the API version 0.2 will be deprecated and version 0.3 will be the new default. Version 0.2 will still be available (probably about 2 releases) until it will be removed.
