Feature Release (Candidate 1)

This release contains new features and supports TYPO3 v11 and v12 with PHP 8.1+.

THIS IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION!

New Features

  • Support for digitized musical sources (in MEI format) was extended and is now regarded stable. This feature renders musical scores using Verovio and allows navigating through the document bar by bar.
  • The multi-view feature displays several documents in parallel and allows synchronized page-turning. The view port of each document can be freely rearranged, resized, as well as independently navigated. Although originally developed for musical sources the multi-view can be used with any composition of documents either by adding them to the view one by one manually or by providing a METS file containing references to all documents to be displayed. By default, this METS file's main structure type has to be composition, but you can configure other document types for the multi-view as well.
  • The two-level metadata feature allows hierarchical metadata mappings or metadata grouping. Instead of providing each metadata field separately with its full MODS XPath, you can define a metadata group (by selecting a MODS node) and then configure multiple sub-fields within this node. This comes in handy for example for personal or corporate names, related works or title statements. Each metadata group and sub-field can be configured using TypoScript like any single metadata field, and both hierarchical and single fields can even be mixed together. (Using hierarchical metadata is optional. No changes to your current mappings are needed.)
  • Support for audio and video was also extended with a new version of shaka-player including multiple plugins (e. g. equalizer and screenshot tool) and support for addressing timecodes directly from table of contents.
  • The validation framework added in Kitodo.Presentation 5.1.0 now has its own frontend plugin providing a form to submit a METS document and displaying validation results.
  • The fulltext feature now fully supports TEI. This includes displaying the fulltext as well as indexing it for search.
