OpenRefine v3.7.4

This is the fifth stable release of the 3.7 series. Please backup your workspace directory before installing and report any problems that you encounter.

New since 3.7.3

• A moderate vulnerability in project import was fixed. Importing a maliciously crafted project could execute arbitrary code on the machine running OpenRefine. A CVE identifier for the vulnerability has been requested. The vulnerability was reported by @stefan-schiller-sonarsource.

New features

• Most text exposed to users in OpenRefine's UI can now be translated. Some strings (generated server-side) were not translatable so far. To help translators catch up on this backlog, do not hesitate to join us on Weblate. (#5030)
• New media files can be uploaded to Wikibase instances such as Wikimedia Commons. The wikitext of existing files can also be edited thanks to the new fields introduced. (#4682)
• A button "Discover Wikibase instances…" was added on the dialog which lists the registered Wikibase instances (#5007), whose design was improved (#5009)
• In the Wikibase schema editor, statements with non-standard datatypes (such as EDTF dates or musical notations) are now supported, assuming they use strings as underlying representation (#3263)
• The Wikibase issues tab now makes it possible to locate which rows are responsible for certain issues, using facets (#5033)
• The default throttle delay for the "Add column by fetching URLs" operation was reduced to 500ms and the error reporting for this field was improved (#5188)
• Wikibase templates (incomplete Wikibase schemas) can be saved and shared, as a way of helping contributors use the same way of structuring data in a Wikibase instance (#5043, #5303)
• The line-based importer now supports a custom delimiter, instead of only newlines (#4103)
• The Excel importer can be configured to import all cells as text, disabling the use of other datatypes supported by OpenRefine (#4838)
• The "some value" and "no value" Wikibase values can now be uploaded by OpenRefine (#5360)
• The Excel importer will also avoid coercing cell values to OpenRefine datatypes which do not fully fit them, such as representing a date as a date with time (#5389, #5390).

GREL changes

• Improved error handling in number formatting with the GREL toString function (#816)
• The behaviour of the GREL function wholeText() has changed slightly in the way it handles newlines, following an upstream change in the jsoup library (jsoup issue #1636)
• A new parent GREL function, to obtain the parent element of an XML element, was added (#5176)

For developers

• Some column metadata fields, which had never been exposed in the UI, have been removed (#5276)
• A new extension point to customize cell rendering was introduced (#5154)

And many bug fixes, see the full list of changes for 3.7.
