Blacklight 2.3
- installation instructions are now maintained in rdoc, and transformed to html with hanna. This makes our docs much more attractive and easy to search than they were previously. You can see the outcome at http://blacklight.rubyforge.org, where we publish our auto-generated rdocs.
- The demo app now uses solrmarc for indexing marc records. The previous ruby-based marc indexer is still there, but the instructions direct users to the solrmarc-based rake task. Generally, we don’t want to duplicate effort with solrmarc. It makes sense for that project to handle all our marc indexing needs, and we’ll just maintain a rake task and a config file for the demo project.
- Better graphic design for the demo app! You can see this in action at http://demo.projectblacklight.org
- Better error handling
- Capistrano deploy script for the demo app, which can be adapted for local deployment
- We merged the home controller into the catalog controller so removing all your searches now takes you back to the front page
- RefWorks and EndNote export
- Email and SMS texting of records
- Required gems are now vendored (i.e., distributed with the download), which we hope will make installation easier
