Invenio v2.0.2 is released

Invenio v2.0.2 was released on April 17, 2015.

About

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

Security fixes

  • celery:
    • Forces Celery to only accept msgpack content when using standard configuration. This disallows pickle messages which can be used for remote code execution. (#3003)
  • global:
    • Disables all attempts to serve directory listings for directories found under static root.

Incompatible changes

  • celery:
    • If you use any Celery serializer other than msgpack, you must update configuration variable CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT to include that serializer.
  • pidstore:
    • Refactors DataCite provider to use the new external DataCite API client.
    • Removes DataCite API client from Invenio.

New features

  • docs:
    • Adds "Code of Conduct" to the "Community" documentation.
    • Adds new fast track deprecation policy.
    • Documents commit message labels used by developers (such as NEW, SECURITY, FIX, etc.) used in automatic generation of structured release notes. (#2856)
  • global:
    • Adds a inveniomanage config locate command to request the location of the instance config file.
    • Adds new configurable variable INVENIO_APP_CONFIG_ENVS that can be set both from invenio.cfg and OS environment. Application factory iterates over comma separated list of configuration variable names and updates application config with equivalent OS environment value. (#2858)
  • template:
    • Adds 'u' filter that converts str to unicode in Jinja2 templates since support for str has been deprecated. Example: {{ mystr|u }}. (#2862)

Improved features

  • docs:
    • Adds example of how to deprecate a feature and includes deprecation policy in documentation.
  • global:
    • Moves datacite API wrapper to external package.
    • Escapes all unicode characters in Jinja2 templates.
  • installation:
    • Apache virtual environments are now created with appropriate WSGIDaemonProcess user value, taken from the configuration variable CFG_BIBSCHED_PROCESS_USER, provided it is set. This change makes it easier to run Invenio under non-Apache user identity.
    • Apache virtual environments are now created with appropriate WSGIPythonHome directive so that it would be easier to run Invenio from within Python virtual environments.
  • jsonalchemy:
    • Introduces support for accepting MARC fields having any indicator. (#1722 #2075)

Bug fixes

  • admin:
    • Adds admin.js bundle that loads select2.js library on /admin pages. (#2690 #2781)
  • assets:
    • Implements __deepcopy__ method for webassets.filter.option in order to fix unexpected behavior of the option class contructor. (#2777 #2864 #2921)
  • documents:
    • Flask-Login import in field definition. (#2905)
    • Safer upgrade recipe for migrations from the old document storage model (used in v1.1) to the new document storage model (used in v1.2).
  • global:
    • Drops support for serving directories in Apache site configuration to avoid problems with loading '/admin' url without trailing slash that attempts to serve the static directory of the same name. (#2470 #2943)
  • installation:
    • Adds Babel as setup requirements for installing compile_catalog command.
  • jsonalchemy:
    • Fixes the definition of time_and_place_of_event_note, series_statement and source_of_description fields.
  • oairepository:
    • Switches keys in CFG_OAI_METADATA_FORMATS configuration mapping. (#2962)
    • Amends bfe_oai_marcxml element since get_preformatted_record does not return a tuple anymore.
  • search:
    • Fixes portalbox text overflow and and syntax error in CSS. (#3023)
    • Collection names containing slashes are now supported again. However we recommend not to use slashes in collection names; if slashes were wanted for aesthetic reasons, they can be added in visible collection translations. (#2902)
  • sorter:
    • Comparison function of record tags uses space concatened string from list of all tags values. (#2750)

Notes

  • assets:
    • Adds deprecation warning when LESS_RUN_IN_DEBUG is used. (#2923)
  • global:
    • Deprecates use of invenio.utils.datacite:DataCite (to be removed in Invenio 2.2).
    • External authentication methods are being deprecated. Please use invenio.modules.oauthclient or Flask-SSO instead. (#1083)
    • Recreate Apache site configurations using new template. Run following command: inveniomanage apache create-config.
    • Deprecates custom remote debuggers. Please use native Werkzeug debugger or other (*)pdb equivalents. (#2945)
    • Adds deprecation warning for invenio.ext.jinja2hacks and all detected non-ascii strings usage in templates mainly coming from legacy (1.x) modules. (#2862)
  • installation:
    • Limits version of SQLAlchemy<=1.0 and SQLAlchemy-Utils<=0.30.
  • oairepository:
    • Changes current behavior of OAI-PMH server for logged in users to take into account all records a user can view and not only public records.
