DRI v16.07

Release 16.07 of the repository software has been deployed to the production system. It was a bit of a struggle to get this one out, mostly due to an Ansible update on the deployment machines. Upgrading to Ansible 2 caused quite a few problems with our multi-stage setup (i.e., deploying to test and production). There were also issues related to the XML editor in the production vs development environment.

Changes include:

  • Rails updated to latest to include important security updates
  • XML editor for MODS and MARC metadata
  • Allow depositor to see status of potentially long running background jobs (e.g. when publishing a collection)
  • Added Honeybadger application monitoring
