Feb 1, 2026

February 2026 (2026-02) focused on stabilizing metadata handling and schema indexing in geonetwork/core-geonetwork. A pair of bug fixes improved compatibility with older GeoNetwork versions and ensured accurate data representation in ISO 19139/ISO 19115-3 mappings. Specifically, we fixed CQL parsing issues caused by non-breaking spaces, and corrected the maintenanceDate element indexing for ISO19115-3. These changes, implemented via two commits, reduce harvest errors and improve metadata interoperability across downstream systems. Key features delivered and fixes: - Robust metadata parsing: replaced non-breaking spaces with regular spaces in CQL constraints to fix parsing errors for older harvesters (commit 92ad441a2a3e3ff3b7c6180c8941d74df7c94604). - Accurate date indexing in ISO19115-3: corrected the element name for maintenanceDate (commit e8cee088ca714789788d9de0cb8f143d09a8e9ba). - Improved data representation across schema mappings, reducing downstream harvest failures and ensuring metadata remains compliant with ISO mappings.
