All,


(Apologies for any duplication due to cross-posting)


We are happy to announce the release of version 4.10.1 of SobekCM, the open-source digital repository solution.  This version includes many updates and fixes for issues introduced in the major architectural changes from version 4.10.0.  Many small improvements were implemented to the management interfaces as well, providing more managing web skins and the system-wide settings.

A new standard TEI plug-in was added which adds native support for TEI, including online editing and metadata extraction.  This allows TEI items to be uploaded into the system and displayed via server-side XSLT application with custom stylesheets for each TEI.  In addition, metadata mapping configuration files control how the bibliographic data is imported into the system from the TEI header.  System admins can manage multiple different XSLTs, stylesheets, and mappings and individually permission users for access to each.  Once the TEI is in the system, users can also edit the TEI in an online XML editor.

This new version continued to make incremental improvements to the architecture of configurations and plug-ins resulting in a more mature open framework system.  This open architecture has already begun to be used in multiple instances, to support customization, new item viewers, or new ways to access data.  Several of the plug-ins have been released as open-source and are made available as sample code on the community maintained plug-in page. ( http://sobekrepository.org/help/tools )

Come join us at SobekCM Code Camp 2017 to learn more about the new architecture and get experience creating your own plug-ins for the system. ( http://sobekrepository.org/events/codecamp/fl2017 )

In addition, many community-suggested improvements and user-reported issues were included in this release.  So a huge thank you to the larger SobekCM community for your help and input.

For the full list of changes, please see the current version change log. (  http://sobekrepository.org/sobekcm/currentversion  )

As always, the MSI and upgrade packages are available at the SobekCM downloads page. ( http://sobekrepository.org/software/download  ).

Thank you, and Happy Holidays to you all.
