Version 1.1.0
Usability and Data Portability
Version 1.1.0 focuses on usability, data portability and continued refinement of specimen management.
Highlights
JSON specimen export
Individual specimens can now be exported as JSON, making it straightforward to use Fossil Tracker data in external tools, scripts and computational workflows. This provides a simple interchange format for further analysis, visualisation or integration with other projects.
Improved document and image management
Document handling has been refined, with image and document types now maintained as reference data for greater consistency across collections. General document management has also been improved, making it easier to organise supporting material associated with specimens.
Enhanced related links
Related links have been enhanced to better support references to external resources, helping to build richer contextual information around each specimen.
Storage improvements
Uploaded image handling has been improved by storing relative file paths, making installations more portable across different environments.
Bug fixes and usability
This release also includes a number of usability improvements and bug fixes, including:
- Fixed an issue that could result in duplicated filename prefixes on uploaded images
- Continued refinement of the user interface and workflow
- Updated project documentation and Wiki
This release continues the goal of making Fossil Tracker a practical, lightweight catalogue for managing personal fossil collections while improving interoperability with external tools and workflows.
