Release Notes - Publications

Milestone: Dec 30, 2019

Upgraded to Plone 5.2 and python 3. Significant work was done to upgrade supporting packages for this transition.
The LaTeX plugin for the TinyMCE editor was visually updated and includes more options

Fixed an issue where a large number of MeSH keywords stored on a site would lead to long load times for search forms.

Added a link to return to the top of the page when scrolling down.
Fixed a security issue on contact searches where the dropdown of searchable categories and groups could be derived from contacts that the user was not authorized to view.

All email emanating from the portal will come from an IMS address. This is to prevent rejection of the email because the address does not match the emanating SMTP server (also IMS). However, the basic site settings let the site administrators configure a "Reply To" email address and name. If the email recipient replies to the email, it will be addressed to this person. The previous values for "from name" and "from email" were automatically converted to these new "reply to" equivalents.

Upgrade to Plone 5.1
Fixed a recent issue caused by this release where text could not be aligned
Fixed an issue where contact downloads would not respect any submitted search terms
Fixed an issue with the HTML version of subscriptions where the title in the URL linking to an image or file incorrectly used an internal URL. The actual link was still valid and remains valid.

Add tooltips to user account related sections on contact listings and the Users and Groups overview page

Added a new import option: list of PMIDs. This will expect a plain text file with PMIDs separated by newlines and pull their data from PubMed.

Improved readability of users in the local roles report.
The "phone type" field in contacts will now default to "Work" instead of unselected.
Addressed an issue where an image scale cache would be cleared after changing its workflow state.

The search form layout has been redesigned. The search criteria fields and "search" button are now distinct from the set of buttons intended to process those results, such as export and mas edit. These options will appear at the top of the search results page after performing a search.
The publication date search criteria is now a year/month pair of dropdown options instead of having to pick a specific date with a widget. Results are inclusive for that month, e.g. a search on published from 2010 will find anything released on January 1, 2010 or later and a search on published to 2010 will find anything released on December 31, 2010 or earlier.
The search order option for "Year, First Author" has changed slightly. If selected, all publications will first be sorted by date and any matching dates will be sorted alphabetically by author.
The default search order field has been changed to "Year, First Author".
It is now possible to expose only a subset of export options to various users based on role. For instance, Members could be allowed to export CSV and Endnote RIS while Site Administrators can export in any format.

Made an adjustment to how short term backups are created in some cases. This should result in increased speed when adding or deleting large files.

Fixed an issue on some sites where videos could not be embedded in pages because the <iframe> tag was blacklisted
When copying folders from inside a GroupSpace to an area outside a GroupSpace, those folders incorrectly retained permission settings that prevented further GroupSpaces from being added inside that folder. This setting is only intended to prevent adding a GroupSpace inside an existing GroupSpace. This issue has been resolved so that folders moved outside can now have a new GroupSpace added in them.
Improved support for multi value displays in the Tabular View within a Collection.

Fixed an issue where files uploaded with a .txt extension would be uploaded as a Page content type. They will now be uploaded as a File content type.

Contacts - fixed an issue with contact vCard downloads when a contact had a phone number with no type set
Contacts Folder and Displays - removed search filter fields by default for new displays.

Added the "File with Encryption" content type. This content type password protects an uploaded file with AES-256 encryption and provides a tool to download a decrypted version of the file if password is confirmed. Tools were made available to encrypt already uploaded files.

When using the "Link" content type to link to a page within the Plone site and the target is deleted, the Link object is now also deleted. Previously it would remain and serve out a bad link.
Made a cosmetic change to hide mailto links when printing.
Improved the messaging displayed to a user when they attempt to access a page for which they do not have authorization.
Added a Mass Edit tool. Contact IMS Staff for help with applying changes across the site.
