Digital Antiquity is proud to announce the release of “Knap,” the latest release of tDAR. The “Knap” release required the tDAR staff to take a step back and review the entire application from a number of major perspectives including, performance, security, data storage, and user-experience. Much of this work helps to establish features that will be available in future releases for you to enjoy.
We focused on a number of major areas of the code including:
- Improved application security
- Clearer error messages, and better in-form validation
- Increased performance of the entire web-application (faster searches and page loading)
- Better display on mobile devices
- Ability to add ORCID Identifiers to your user account
- Improved results for auto-completes with many results, especially when searching for people
- Improved validation and error messages for bulk uploads.
- Bulk uploads now support data sets
- Resources can now inherit individual and institutional roles from projects
- File Descriptions are now printed on cover-pages, which may be useful for redaction notes
- Display of new and popular items on the explore page
- The user-registration page was simplified
- Pagination options were added for the column metadata screen
- Table and column relationships are display for MS Access Databases
- Fixed parsing issues with converted OWL ontologies, now maintaining import order, and improving duplicate checking
