DSpace-CRIS release 2024.01.00
ATTENTION: not to use in production, only for test purpose. The PRODUCTION READY version at this time is 2023.02.xx
This version, released on the 22nd July 2024, provides alignment DSpace 8.0-snapshot
New User Features

DSpace-CRIS release 2023.02.05
This version, released on the 11th July 2024, provides minor improvements and bug fixing.
Key Enhancements
- New configuration introduces identifier subtypes, allowing customization of the name, icon, icon position, and link for each subtype. This includes the update for identifier subtype ROR with identifier.ror rendering type. ROR ID on the OrgUnit details page is displayed following the guidelines
- Improved visualization of related items (crisref rendering) by creating a new view for the crisref link rendering type that displays metadata in a popup when hovering and closes it automatically when moving away
- Improved the item poller org.dspace.app.rest.enhancer.RelatedItemEnhancerUpdatePoller to use its own consumers list. This allows to configure specific consumers for the item poller or add/remove not needed ones
- Implement Domino for Server-Side Rendering stability
- The validation of patch requests against Edit Item, i.e. request generated by the edit of the deposited item via the Edit “submission like” modes, is now using a more relaxed check accepting to update the item also if the resulting item results in a number of validation error not greater than before the patch. Indeed, it is important to note that a deposited item could have existing validation errors under some scenarios. The most common one is that the deposited item has been created in bulk importing data from a legacy system (migration) or has become “invalid” due to changes in the configuration where more validation criteria have been enforced. In all these scenarios, the updated logic allows editing the item without having to solve all the validation errors at the same time, as long as each edit improves the validation status of the item (i.e. reduces the amount of JSON path involved in validation errors)
Minor changes
- Set the alphabetic order in the “Entity type“ dropdown menu during the creation of a Collection
- Reload the page automatically if loading hangs up
- The visibility on the homepage of the AddToAny social sharing bar has been improved
- The user_id field of processes is now set to null when an EPerson is deleted to fix errors in process retrieval

This version, released on the 31st May 2024, provides minor improvements and bug fixing.
Key Enhancements

- Added additional configuration to enable versioning only on custom entities and to allow the creation of new versions of an item also to non-admin (check allowed group configuration)
- Add support for Link input type. In the submission form It’s now possible to use a new input type “link” to store label as metadata value and link as authority. A related rendering type has been added for visualization on the item page

org.dspace.content.enhancer.impl.RelatedEntityItemEnhancer - The relatedItemMetadataField property in metadata-enhancer.xml now uses a list of values
- Item thumbnail preview is now disabled in MyDSpace item list
- The behavior of RelatedItemEnhancer has been updated to reduce the amount of generated metadata retaining the ability to minimize load to determine required changes when the source item or the related items (deepMode = true) are updated. Now only distinct sources uuid are tracked and for each source it is possible to extract/generate one or more virtual metadata values that will be all stored individual as cris.virtual. metadata. The place of the cris.virtual. metadata always match the place of the corresponding uuid / authority from which the metadata is generated and that is stored in the cris.virtualsource.. Please note that there is no guarantee about the order of the cris.virtualsource. values, it can differs from the order of the original metadata from which the authorities have been extracted. For example, the publication with Authors: Author1, Author2, Author3 can lead to the following virtual :
cris.virtualsource.<qualifier> = uuid3, uuid3, uuid1, uuid2, uuid2, uuid2 cris.virtual.<qualifier> = value-extracted-from-author3, value2-extracted-from-author3, value-extracted-from-author1, value-extracted-from-author2, value2-extracted-from-author2, value3-extracted-from-author2 - Added support for pushing the Product entities to ORCID (donated by floriangantner - University of Bamberg)

- Script loading is conditional to allow giving consent for each metric.
- Disabling each metric is possible on the whole environment via configuration property.
- In order to have, for ORCID, an external identifier even for orgunits like departments, with this version the orgunit hierarchy is scanned upwards, and the first identifier is used for the disambiguation
- Improved the post preview on social media when sharing it from the social buttons
- Improved the appearance of subscription emails
- The MetadataImporter was updated in order to be able to load all the registries at once, with the possibility of configuring which files must be used and without having to specify the file to use for every import
- The ItemEnhancer now avoids performing an update of an item when there are no changes in the calculated virtual metadata, even when the deep (previously named force) mode is used. This prevents triggering other consumers, such as reindexing or altering the last modification date of the item if not really needed.
- Created utility functions to handle internal and external links
- The ROR integration also shows the country when providing suggestions in a field
Bug fixes
- Using discovery configuration communityOrCollection for the item mapper in the item administrative section
