• Sorted list of federated search sites alphabetically (tfs3780)

Map Viewer

• Upgraded default map viewer and Geoportal FindData Widget (tfs3548, tfs3210, tfs3415, tfs3600, tfs3599) to ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 3.5

Synchronization and Publishing

• Support harvesting DCAT files into Geoportal Server
• Fixed the issue with search by report uuid not working in the synchronization history page (tfs3220)
• Added support for GEMINI 2.2 and resolved multiple GEMINI validation issues (tfs3412, tfs3597, tfs3598).
• Resolved GEMET theme keyword lookup issue due to source url change (tfs3411).
• Added message to indicate that record has been updated when editing and saving an existing metadata

Portal for ArcGIS Integration

• Added AGS-TO-AGP harvesting - it enables an administrator to use the Geoportal as a broker to harvest ArcGIS Server Services in ArcGIS Server to a Portal for ArcGIS instance. The harvested records go directly to the destination Portal for ArcGIS instance; they are not stored in the Geoportal Server repository. see AGS TO AGP Harvesting with the Geoportal
• Enhanced AGP-TO-AGP harvesting - Added support for Portal for ArcGIS 10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2.
• Updated metadata.war to reflect latest changes in geoportal 1.2.5 to better integrate metadata editing capability for Portal for ArcGIS
• Added federated search sample to github (tfs2024).

Desktop Tools

• Updated geoportal desktop tools to support ArcGIS 10.2.1 and ArcGIS 10.2.2 (tfs3441, tfs3494).
• Fixed various installation issues (tfs3544, tfs3637)
• Fixed issue with CSW client does not support PKI-enabled CSW searching (tfs3687)
• Fixed issue with CSW client for ArcMap does not support downloading downloadable items (tfs3763)
• Updated the search list for csw desktop client (tfs3776)

Miscellaneous

• Migrated geoportal server installation guide from PDF to github wiki (tfs3694)
• Updated the feedback email body to automatically include the geoportal url (tfs3705)
• Enhanced 508 compliance support on many geoportal pages (Except those pages with dynamic maps are inherently visual / graphical and GXE editor)
• Resolved various issues reported from github:
  • github-11: Error browsing metadata after search on federated catalogs
  • github-32: Support harvesting DCAT files into Geoportal Server
  • github-36: ISO 19115-2 XSLT to render Details page
  • github-38: CSW Client can't be installed on non English OS
  • github-48: gc's WEB-INF/web.xml file references wrong welcome file and includes incorrect server name
  • github-50: Pagination issues for the CSW responses
  • github-54: Hardcoded values to http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com
  • github-55: Search page returning a 404 Not Found
  • github-57: Unable to harvest data from ngdc
  • github-67: csw over https fails
  • github-71: Populate Geoportal Schema in PostgreSQL

Known Issues

System Environment

• Apache Tomcat 6.0.13 and earlier not supported. If used, when users access certain pages (Register Network Resource, the Search page), they'll be redirected to the Home Page. Logfile will show an error that the EL expression cannot be parsed. This is a known issue with Apache Tomcat. Workaround is to use later version of Tomcat; recommended is version 6.0.32 and higher.

User Management

• Geoportal does not support registering new users through Register page or changing a password through the My Profile page if configured with Microsoft Active Directory.

Discovery

• There are known issues with previewing various WMTS implementations. Please submit ones that work poorly to the [issues](https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server/issues?state=open).
• The ability for a WMS service to be previewed will depend on the projections supported by the service specified for the Geoportal Search map. See the Important Notes in the Changing the Map Service Topic for details.
• When the thumbnail in metadata is not found, an empty image displays in the search result/details page.
• Thumbnails with partially encoded URL reference (e.g., http://www.testserver.com/images/Note%20the%20encoding%20here/but no encoding here.JPG), the h:graphicImage java server faces component renders the link with plus signs in the spaces. Workaround is to use fully encoded URLs in thumbnail links.
• Searching ArcGIS.com through federated search allows users to choose Live Data and extent for a search criteria, but these have no effect on the search request submitted to ArcGIS.com.
• KML and KMZ file having html code in CDATA section as a description does not get rendered properly and show the html string as opposed to the rendered html.
• KML files that use a geometry other than points or rectangles (e.g., lines, other polygons) will not be rendered properly on the Preview page.
• When a document title is long with no spaces, HTML rendering does not wrap the title in search results. BeNiceAndUseSpacesPleaseAsOpposedToCamelCaseSinceNotAllOfUsAreDevelopers.
• When OntologyService.war is deployed in IBM Weblogic without unzipping the .war file, the Ontology service does not return related terms.
• For metadata records published with the first letter of their title being a diacritic letter, the records will be sorted with diacritic titles below the non-diacritic titles if Search results are ordered by title.

Publishing

• The Geoportal calendar widget does not work properly if a server is set with different locale in JVM such as the Buddhist calendar.
• When metadata status gets updated with the checkbox "Apply action to the entire result set", the status change gets updated in the lucene index when the next synchronization (to sync between lucene index and database) process runs and finishes.

Synchronization

• For CSW protocol, incremental Synchronization will not reharvest metadata that have been deleted from admin interface.
• If a repository doesn't support last updated date info, Incremental sync will act like full sync.
