Invenio v1.2.2 is released

Invenio v1.2.2 was released on November 25, 2016.

About

Invenio is a digital library framework enabling you to build your own

This stable release update is recommended to all Invenio sites using
v1.2.1 or previous releases.

New features

  • installation
    • Initial release of kickstart installations scripts. Ported from
      the old tiborsimko/invenio-devscripts repository of helper
      scripts and adapted to resemble Invenio 3 kickstart installation
      scripts. Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and CentOS 6.

Improved features

  • BibDocFile
    • Escapes file name special characters including accents and spaces
      in document URLs.
  • BibFormat
    • Corrects subfield usage when displaying the DOI qualifying
      information, changing subfield y (not valid) by q. (#3195)
  • BibIndex
    • Enhances full-text indexing of external flles. (PR #3358)
  • BibRank
    • Allows ranking external files using Solr. (PR #3358)
  • I18N
    • Updates Slovak translation from Transifex.
    • Updates Slovak translation from Transifex.
    • Updates German, French, Slovak and Spanish translations from
      Transifex.
    • Updates Catalan, French, German, Italian, Russian, Slovak, and
      Spanish translations from Transifex.
    • Completes Italian translation for Invenio v1.2.
    • Completes Italian translation.
    • Completes French translation.
  • WebSession
    • Changes error message depending on
      CFG_ACCESS_CONTROL_LEVEL_ACCOUNTS value as the meaning of the
      column note also changes with it. (#1414) (PR #3414)
  • WebStyle
    • Cleans the port from the user's IP preventing issues in future
      manipulations of it. (PR #3255)
  • WebSubmit
    • Adds subtitle file to the file converter rules. (PR #3358)
    • Allows the stamping function to accept both files and directories.
  • crossrefutils
    • Supports querying CrossRef with free account (without password).
      (#3503) (#1277) (PR #3516)
  • installation
    • Installation scripts now support Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
    • Uses /usr/sbin/service foo consistently everywhere to restart
      daemons instead of deprecated /etc/init.d/foo.
    • Pinned specific JSON-js and Mediaelement versions instead of using
      the latest master branch commits. (#11)
  • urlutils
    • Uses md5 from hashlib when available. (#3382)

Bug fixes

  • BibCirculation
    • Fixes the number of copies of an item that is displayed in the
      circulation UI item search. (#2018) (PR #3574)
  • BibDocFile
    • Disallows % character in filenames since it may cause some
      problems with URL encoding/decoding leading to incorrect URLs.
      (#1918) (PR #2788)
    • Purges old extracted text too, when purging a BibDoc. (#3519)
  • BibFormat
    • Casts record ID type to integer in record editor formatting
      element. Various functions working with the record ID expect it to
      be an integer rather than a string. (PR #2796)
    • Fixes filtering of records not modified since the last bibreformat
      run, which could have skipped records that were, for whatever
      reason, not reformatted in the past. (PR #2824)
    • Changes when the missing caches are generated during bibreformat
      run. The missing cache is no longer generated for records if the
      bibreformat is run with -i, --collection, --field or --pattern
      option.
  • BibIndex
    • Fixes possible infinite loop in beautify_range_list() that could
      have been triggered in particular conditions. (PR #2758)

      (#2192)
  • I18N
    • Fixes a typo in the German translation.
  • OAIHarvest
    • Fixes an exception that would happen upon the initial harvest of a
      new OAI harvest source marked to be harvested "from beginning".
      (#2793)
    • Fixes the parsing of resumptiontoken in incoming OAI-PMH XML which
      could fail when the resumptiontoken was empty.
  • OAIRepository
    • Fixes default configuration of CFG_OAI_METADATA_FORMATS, correctly
      assigning the XSD and XML namespace to the corresponding metadata
      prefix.
  • WebAccess
    • Improves the WebAccess FireRole documentation by providing
      corrected example on how to use groups in FireRole definitions.
      (#3107) (#3225)
  • WebSearch
    • Takes into account the sort order when searching, even if no
      specific sort or rank method is used. (PR #3564)
    • Adds the proper language parameter on tabs if the user has
      selected different language from the browser preferred. (#308) (PR
      #3395)
    • Fixes a search regression test case that looks for records added
      in the past 10 years. This test started to fail because some
      records are declared with date added (see MARC tag 005) before
      1. Amends the test case to use safer value of last 100 years
        instead of last 10 years.
    • Fixes asynchronous external collection getter tests following the
      update of the Invenio project web site.
  • WebSession
    • Removes pending groups from user info object. (#3526)
  • bibupload
    • In case of replicating datasets between instances by means of OAI
      harvesting it is plausible to check for external OAI-IDs not only
      in the field specified by CFG_BIBUPLOAD_EXTERNAL_OAIID_TAG but
      also in CFG_OAI_ID_FIELD. (#2812) (PR #2816)
  • crossrefutils
    • Correctly URL-encodes the query sent to CrossRef in order to
      retrieve information about a given DOI.
    • Correctly passes the noredirect flag to CrossRef API.
  • global
    • Silences most MySQL UTF-8 warnings related to inserting into and
      updating BLOB table columns.
  • installation
    • Amends canonical location of py-editdist and pyRXP packages,
      fixing the installation problem.
    • Amends installation procedures to download necessary jQuery
      plugins from Invenio-hosted web site, fixing problems with non-
      existing Google Code pages. (#3620)
    • Fixes Apache virtual host configuration generation on CentOS 6.
  • inveniogc
    • Fixes garbage collection of temporary directories created by
      websubmit_icon_creator and websubmit_file_stamper. (#3556) (PR
      #3558)

About

Invenio is a digital library framework enabling you to build your own
digital library or document repository on the web.

Security fixes

  • docker:
    • Disables debug mode when using standard Docker image. Uses docker
      compose to set the variable instead.

Improved features

  • deposit:
    • Improves handling of large files in deposit.
  • docker:
    • Improves Docker documentation notably related to how to work with
      Invenio site overlays.
    • Changes port number exposed by docker to non-reserved ones to
      avoid conflicts with local installations. Webport is now 28080,
      Redis 26379 and MySQL is 23306, which is a simple +20000 shift
      from the standard ports.
    • Integrates docker boot script into docker image.
    • Changes docker boot script to use exec. This ensure signal
      forwarding and reduces the overhead by one process. As a result
      container shutdown is faster now.
    • Changes manual master/slave configuration of Docker devboot script
      to automatic solution using file locks.
  • jasmine:
    • Allows using variables from application config for building asset
      bundles.

Bug fixes

    • Fixes issue with PLUpload chunking not being enabled.
  • encoder:
    • Corrects the compose_file function call in process_batch_job

About

Invenio is a digital library framework enabling you to build your own
digital library or document repository on the web.

Security fixes

  • docker:
    • Disables debug mode when using standard Docker image. Uses docker
      compose to set the variable instead.

Incompatible changes

  • access:
    • Removes proprietary authentication protocol for robotlogin.
      (#2972)
    • Removes external authentication engines. Please use
      invenio.modules.oauthclient or Flask-SSO instead. (#1083)

      when option LESS_RUN_IN_DEBUG is enabled. (#2923)
    • Requires update of bootstrap version of overlays.
  • collections:
    • Collection reclist is not populated anymore. Use collection phrase
      index using query matcher based on record data, hence no second
      order operator will work in collection query definition.
  • communities:
    • Removes 'communities' module that has been externalised to
      separate Python package called 'invenio_communities'. Migration
      can be done by running pip install invenio_communities and

  • formatter:
    • Database table 'format' and 'formatname' have been dropped and
      foreign keys in other tables has been changed to use lower case
      version of output format base filename without extension name.
    • Output formats are no longer modifiable from web interface as they
      syntax has been changed from custom "bfo" to "yml". (#2662)
    • Custom output formats from the database needs to by merged with
      bfo files to new yml files. Please follow instructions when
      running python scripts/output_format_migration_kit.py.
  • global:
    • Removes old URL handlers for /search and /record. (#2958)
    • Enables 'sql_mode' as 'ansi_quotes' for quotes compatibility for
      MySQL.

      increase usability.
  • global:
    • Uses Flask-IIIF extension providing various image manipulation
      capabilities.
    • Adds possibility to refer to documents and legacy BibDocFiles via
      special path such as /api/multimedia/image/recid:{recid} or
      /api/multimedia/image/recid:{recid}-{filename} or
      /api/multimedia/image/uuid with proper permission checking.

  • oauthclient:
    • Adds support for CERN OAuth authentication.
  • records:
    • Adds support for granting author/viewer rights to records via tags
      by specifying CFG_ACC_GRANT_AUTHOR_RIGHTS_TO_USERIDS_IN_TAGS
      and/or CFG_ACC_GRANT_VIEWER_RIGHTS_TO_USERIDS_IN_TAGS. (#2873)
  • script:
    • Implements optional TLS encryption directly by Werkzeug. Adds many
      configuration variables (SERVER_TLS_*) to control the behaviour.
    • Adds support for PostgreSQL database initialization.
  • search:
    • Implements a mechanism that enhances user queries. The enhancer
      functions are specified in the 'SEARCH_QUERY_ENHANCERS' and later
      they are applied to the query AST one after the other in the
      search method. (#2987)
    • Adds new API for querying records.

Improved features

  • accounts:
    • Improves legend alignment in login form.
  • classifier:
    • Improves the stripping of reference section when extracting text
      from PDF by using a more appropriate refextract API.
  • deposit:
    • Corrects reflow on narrow screens and removes misused classes for
      labels.
    • Adds sticky navigation item to the deposit page to simplify
      overview on larger forms. Works well with collapsed elements. On
      narrow screens the navigation gets pushed in front of all other
      form elements.
    • Improves handling of large files in deposit.
    • Fixes problem with misaligned checkbox and radio list items. They
      are produced because wtforms does not wrap input elements into
      labels as it is intended by the bootstrap framework.
  • docker:
    • Changes port number exposed by docker to non-reserved ones to
      avoid conflicts with local installations. Webport is now 28080,
      Redis 26379 and MySQL is 23306, which is a simple +20000 shift
      from the standard ports.
    • Integrates docker boot script into docker image.
    • Changes docker boot script to use exec. This ensure signal
      forwarding and reduces the overhead by one process. As a result
      container shutdown is faster now.
    • Changes manual master/slave configuration of Docker devboot script
      to automatic solution using file locks.
  • formatter:
    • Improves support for translated output format names on search
      results page. (#2429)
  • global:
    • Supports database creation on PostgreSQL server.
    • Implements session signing. This avoids cache request for invalid
      sessions and reduces the DDoS attack surface.
    • Removes IP address storage+checks. This avoids data privacy issues
      and enables users with multiple connections (e.g. WIFI+LTE,
      multiple WIFI connections on trains+stations) to stay signed in.
    • Enhances run_py_func to be able to print both to some StringIO
      and to the terminal at the same time. This is enabled with the
      passthrough argument. It now also always returns stderr,
      deprecating the capture_stderr argument. The return value is now
      a namedtuple so that one can easily fetch the required value. Its
      arguments to a more natural order (name of the executable first
      and arguments afterwards.
    • Supports database creation on PostgreSQL server.
    • Improves compatibility of Text fields in PostrgeSQL by changing
      Text in models and removes Invenio hacks on MySQL Index and
      Primary Key creation because starting from SQLAlchemy>=1.0 it
      arises an exception if the length is specified. (#3037)
  • knowledge:
    • Relaxes constraints on dynamic search function that used to force
      us to create temporary knowledge base. (#698)
  • legacy:
    • Supports database creation on PostgreSQL server.
  • oauthclient:
    • Extra template block addition.
  • refextract:
    • Replaces usage of 'urllib' by 'requests' library and improves
      manipulation with temporary file used for extraction of
      references.
  • script:
    • Uses SQLAlchemy and SQLAlchemy-Utils to initialize the database
      instead of executing mysql in a python subshell. (#2846) (#2844)
  • search:
    • The search results pages emits proper Cache and TTL information in
      its HTTP headers, so that any eventual external cachers (such as
      varnish) could act accordingly to invalidate their caches
      automatically, without any configuration. (#2302)
