Release Overview
This release contains a number of updates and new features including.
- Guestbook at request. Dataverse can now be configured to display any configured guestbook to users when they request restricted files (new functionality) or when they download files (previous behavior).
- Collection-level storage quotas (experimental). Support for defining storage size quotas for collections. See the API guide for details.
- Improved Globus support. Now includes support for using file-based Globus endpoints, including the case where files are stored on tape and are not immediately accessible and for the case of referencing files stored on remote Globus endpoints.
- Alternative Title now allows multiple values.
- External tools. Read/write "configure" tools (a type of external tool) are now available at the dataset level. They appear under the "Edit Dataset" menu.
- S3 out-of-band upload. This pull request adds an option to allow direct uploads via API only enabling third party applications to use direct upload from within the internal network.
- JSON Schema for datasets. Functionality has been added to help validate dataset JSON prior to dataset creation, including two new API endpoints.
The release also includes new or improved API endpoints and improvements to OpenID Connect (OIDC) and Solr.
