• Manage bitstreams via the XLS BulkImport: support to edit bitstream metadata, attach, delete new files pointing to local folder configured in the server or remote location (via public ftp,sftp,http,https)
• New fresh rendering for attachments that allow a more clean visualization of the bitstream metadata
