DSpace-CRIS release 2023.02.03
This version, released on the 29th March 2024, provides minor improvements and bug fixing.
Key Enhancements
- When linking a page of the repository, the use of a language can now be forced with a URL parameter (e.g lang=it)
- Added the Communities and Collections section to the Admin menu for collection administrators when the section is not shown in the Navigation bar
- Added a setting to enable/disable the Mirador download plugin. It is enabled by default
- In items lists, thumbnails are embedded to avoid extra calls and slowdowns
- Improved the responsiveness of metrics badge pop-ups on smaller screens
- Added support for template Item in the struct builder script/configuration
- Added configurable metadata of index-able item bitstreams on Solr
- Lucky-search configuration now supports also redirect of previous DSpace-CRIS v5 bitstreams paths to the DSpace-CRIS v7
- DOIOrganiser performance improved
- Allowed administrators to always perform PUT/Patches operations over items (in progress or archived)
- Improved the performance of the item-enhancer script
- Display the current metrics consents text for each badge
- Implement component to visualize current consents for metrics badges in a compact way
- Introduced the relatedItemMetadataFields attribute on
org.dspace.content.enhancer.impl.RelatedEntityItemEnhancer - The relatedItemMetadataField property in metadata-enhancer.xml now uses a list of values
- Item thumbnail preview is now disabled in MyDSpace item list
- The behavior of RelatedItemEnhancer has been updated to reduce the amount of generated metadata retaining the ability to minimize load to determine required changes when the source item or the related items (deepMode = true) are updated. Now only distinct sources uuid are tracked and for each source it is possible to extract/generate one or more virtual metadata values that will be all stored individual as cris.virtual. metadata. The place of the cris.virtual. metadata always match the place of the corresponding uuid / authority from which the metadata is generated and that is stored in the cris.virtualsource.. Please note that there is no guarantee about the order of the cris.virtualsource. values, it can differs from the order of the original metadata from which the authorities have been extracted. For example, the publication with Authors: Author1, Author2, Author3 can lead to the following virtual :
cris.virtualsource.<qualifier> = uuid3, uuid3, uuid1, uuid2, uuid2, uuid2 cris.virtual.<qualifier> = value-extracted-from-author3, value2-extracted-from-author3, value-extracted-from-author1, value-extracted-from-author2, value2-extracted-from-author2, value3-extracted-from-author2 - Added support for pushing the Product entities to ORCID (donated by floriangantner - University of Bamberg)
- Added support for pushing the Patent entities to ORCID (donated by floriangantner - University of Bamberg)
- Updated deduplication configuration for the new data-quality add-on features.
- During submission, autosave is triggered by changes on dc.type by default
- Removed sortablejs library dependency
Bug

- Resolved the out of memory error during Angular build
- Supervised items in MyDSpace are now listed correctly
- Fixed the error appearing in Edit item update when there’s no submitter
- Fixed the issue for which the authority value was not saved if controlled vocabulary was used in a not repeatable field
- Fixed bug for rendering cris-layout-configuration breaking when the rendering was set on a field without the filtering metadata
- Fixed rendering issue with item page with huge/large number of metadata
- Added the template for the subscription statistics email previously hard-coded in the script
- Fix the issue of facets disappearing in search page when a filter was selected
- Fixed issue with type-bind when dc.type is provided by a metadata enrichment
- Fixed issue with type-bind when dc.type is vocabulary controlled
- Fixed issue for which Authority was not saved for repeatable fields
DSpace-CRIS 7 release 2023.02.02
This version, released on the 9th February 2024, provides minor improvements and bug fixing.
Key Enhancements
- Created a bootable jar to execute DSpace REST as Spring Boot application
- Added the internal routing on the counted component and improved its general appearance and behavior
- Removed the dropdown menu with SherpaRomeo suggestions when entering the title of Books
- Added support to display an alternative tab/box if the configured one is not accessible by the current user
- Repositioned the Export button at the level of publication list in Person pages
- Added AddToAny for sharing posts on social media
- Implemented a GDPR-compliant metrics integration:
- Isolated consents for third party metrics, each of the metrics can be accepted/declined separately.
- Script loading is conditional to allow giving consent for each metric.
- Disabling each metric is possible on the whole environment via configuration property.
- In order to have, for ORCID, an external identifier even for orgunits like departments, with this version the orgunit hierarchy is scanned upwards, and the first identifier is used for the disambiguation
- Improved the post preview on social media when sharing it from the social buttons
- Improved the appearance of subscription emails
- The MetadataImporter was updated in order to be able to load all the registries at once, with the possibility of configuring which files must be used and without having to specify the file to use for every import
- The ItemEnhancer now avoids performing an update of an item when there are no changes in the calculated virtual metadata, even when the deep (previously named force) mode is used. This prevents triggering other consumers, such as reindexing or altering the last modification date of the item if not really needed.
- Created utility functions to handle internal and external links
- The ROR integration also shows the country when providing suggestions in a field
Bug fixes
- Using discovery configuration communityOrCollection for the item mapper in the item administrative section
- Fixed the issue that made filters in the search section not work correctly if square brackets are used
- Fixed the logo being displayed on the communities & collections pages. The logo had no maximum size
- Added tests to test the community/collection logo could be edited once set/uploaded
- The default logo was Person but the default one is now File since not every thumbnail is generally related to a Person it makes sense to have a more generic logo/thumbnail
- This technical improvement opens the opportunity for performance improvements each time that a script or other functionalities require to work over all or a large list of items.
- Restored the filters in the sidebar on the Search Results page
- Fixed the link authn error during external login (OIDC)
- Fixed the issue of not listing any community or collection when starting CSV and XLS Metadata export

- Fixed the infinite scroll in the pop-up appearing when adding an entity starting from the option in the administration menu
- Fixed the issue of the impossibility of running the filter-media process with limitations to a community or collection
- Fixed the “detect duplicate” error which prevented the depositing of an item with a correction request
- Fixed error with the process page not being correctly updated once the process ended
