Scigloo Release Notes

Scigloo 1.3.1

  • Some adjustments to the handling of XSQL error messages using a global template.
  • UTF-8 encoding fix in mail from upload function.

Scigloo 1.3.0

  • Added functionality "Review & Verify": page for the logged in user to review the personal publication list and verify it. The timestamp is saved in database for the user. This function needs the external_user_id field to match the logged in user id, otherwise an error message is displayed and the verify button is not shown in the interface. The template for the "review list" is used with some changes to it, for example direct links to edit form is displayed.
  • Field publist_verified_date added as read-only field in the admin interfaces (iadmin+sadmin) for person authorities.
  • URL parameter "extids" can now be used in both HTML and XML formats for the personal publication lists, instead of or in conjunction with the old "ids". So, just a "extids=<userid>" should work to get a complete list.
  • The database function for displaying personal publication lists now supports filtering on the "accept" flag, and on the timestamp in publist_verified_date (only show verified publications, or publications not verified). All parts of the user interface implies "accept" set to "yes" for now.
  • XML output for personal publication lists does not include error messages if URL parameter lyear or hyear is missing, as the database function is rewritten to ignore this.
  • Some XML Schemas added for publication list feeds.

Scigloo 1.2.2

  • Small text changes to local instances
  • Database functions functions fetch_posts_ext() and fetch_posts_pub_ext() changed to display publications where created_by, modified_by or any author's externalid matched incoming parameter externalid
  • Upcoming public defenses channel (primarily for publication types doctoral theses, licentiate theses) now supports a feed with publication items from all Scigloo instances
