Major release v20.10 includes better support for document sets, including API access, bulk assignment during imports, and a more efficient interface for moving works between sets. It also includes support for multiple single-sign-on providers in the same installation, and substantial improvements to the IIIF APIs and TEI-XML export.

User Enhancements

  • Text created by project owners will no longer be flagged as potential spam
  • Searching for works within a collection or document set now searches metadata as well as work titles
  • Project owners may upload or import works to a particular document set within a collection
  • Work assignment to document sets now contains a work search bar, allowing easier management of works between document sets

Integration Improvements

  • Multiple SAML identity providers are now supported on one installation. Sponsored by the Church History Library
  • TEI export now includes geo elements for subjects containing latitude/longitude outside of the "placeography" in the TEI header
  • New IIIF top-level collection per user account
  • Contributions API now accepts a user slug, extending support to uploaded documents as well as those imported from IIIF content providers.
  • Document Sets are now exposed through the IIIF API

Bug fixes

  • Top-level IIIF collection no longer returns 404
  • Line breaks in searchable plaintext export are now replaced with a single space
  • Notes display "n days ago"
  • Work search within document sets returned documents within different collection
  • When subjects have been created from verbatim text including parentheses or braces, autolink no longer breaks
  • Eliminated document set/collection confusion for the "joined project" deed.

Serviceability Improvements

  • Inclusive language in accordance with IETF draft
  • Full-text search from a subject article is now launched via a POST, addressing crawler-initiated performance problems

The team is grateful to the Church History Library (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) for funding multi-SSO integration.
