Main changes since RC4 include:

  • embargo support
  • search stemming (plurals and verbal inflections are now handled)
  • bug fixes: better UI field validation, showing authors

The main features available in B2SHARE2 RC4 are:

  • based on Invenio v3
  • user login using the staging B2ACCESS server
  • records lifecycle: creation and editing of drafts, publishing them
  • fast record search
  • PID for each public record and for files
  • simple authorisation system: the record owners can edit/publish records; the published records' metadata is publicly available; record files are readable only if the record is published and marked as open access.
  • support for custom metadata templates for each community
  • user-friendly license selector UI control
  • OAI-PMH support with DC and MarcXML metadata formats
  • HTTP API for creating, editing and publishing records

Notably missing features compared to v1 (coming in the next RCs):

  • comments and reviews for datasets
  • 'report abuse' and 'request access to private record' functions

Work in progress features (to be released in the following RCs):

  • DOIs for published records
  • user interface and HTTP APIs for managing user communities and their metadata
  • file download statistics
  • community administrators and community member roles for finer grained access control
  • specialised UI controls for editing records: scientific disciplines, language selection
  • UI and HTTP API for navigating record versions
  • easy local installations (with Docker)
