In brief:
�* You will need to upgrade the database structure using epadmin
upgrade,
� �see below for more details.
�* The new JSON export plugin exposes all the metadata from on
EPrint, if
� �you disabled the XML export you may wish to disable this too.
Views
�* New config. style for views (old style still works too)
�* Views "menu" pages can now be split up, eg. A-C, D-F, G-I etc.
(new
� �default Author view uses this option)
�* Fixed a bug where bad view URLs created huge pages and ate memory.
�* Removed bogus xmlns attributes.
JSON
�* Added both an export plugin, plus a CGI script to allow javascript
� �callbacks (which allows mashups to work on your data).
�* To turn on the callback script to allow mashups etc. set
� �$c->{json}->{enable} = 1;
� �in the config. This is set by default on new repositories.
�* The syntax of the callback script is
� �/cgi/json?callback=my_function&eprintid=23
�* The data exposed by the JSON export plugin is the same as for
EP3XML
� �so if you have sensitive data in your records, you may wish to
� �disable it, and not enable the callback script.
Unicode
�* Several fixes to issues with encoding.
OAI
�* Added support for custom OAI sets, which helps us meet the DRIVER
spec.
�* Fixed a bug where GetRecord returned records it shouldn't.
FTP
�* This is an experiemental tool. It is not recommended you run this
on a
� �production server without chatting with us first. However it is
pretty
� �cool.
Toolbox
�* addDocument now returns the numerical ID of the document rather
than
"OK".
Input Workflow
�* Multiple fields can now contain <help> and <name> in their sub
fields.
�* Can now use Subject input component with other fields in a
workflow
Database
�* The schema ID has been increased as we have standardised that all
parts
� �of a name field will be NULL or set, not a mixture. Upgrading the
DB
� �using epadmin will fix this scruffy data, but the resulting
database
� �structure will be still compatible with earlier 3.1.* releases,
but if
� �you downgrade you'll need to modify the "version" table back to
3.1.1
Other
�* Whitespace now auto-stripped from DOIs & Pubmed IDs.
�* Fixed issue in encoding paths for documents with subdirectories.
�* Fixed autocomplete javascript under HTTPS.
