Jan 1, 2025January 2025 (2025-01) – Key achievements and business value: Key features delivered: - Resource URL parameter consistency across metadata management pages: centralizes handling of the resource parameter 'r' across the UI, ensures presence in the URL, inclusion in form submissions, and is managed via a centralized JavaScript function to reduce template/page inconsistencies. These changes streamline metadata management workflows and reduce user errors. (Commits: 6cbac425466cb897a8d4d0f7ddb2026b280462c1; 3419c6a38777a016ebb73b4c7db2f0c37902b7d5; 78c95f8ff680ff9e4e6792e57eb32f42c9423146) - Download resource metadata from resource overview: adds a new ResourceFileAction and UI download button to allow downloading EML/DataPackage metadata directly from the resource overview page, improving accessibility and export workflows. (Commit: dac1369bc5f0f9b6b8b56265782e01fac4630e30) - Documentation: Release notes for version 3.1.3 released to reflect latest stable changes, including download paths and resolved issues. (Commit: b31855323259142b9061c5e679329af74692ae12) - Maintenance/update: Bump gbif-metadata-profile to v2.7 to align with external changes and improvements. (Commit: d49702a9b19ad7147e37d184698805a7ea3edda1) - Refactor and UI consistency: Centralize metadata agent logic and standardize CSS, including refactoring of repeated code paths and updating CSS for consistency and maintainability; also prepares for safer removal and UI cleanup of related elements. (Commit: ce4d3dfc68e75debb2d50c1f1395af7680b36b05) - UI cleanup and improvement: Remove the Taxon id reference field to simplify the UI and reduce confusion around unused fields; adjustments include updating related UI components and styling to reflect the cleaner interface. (Commit: 9902211338e2bb427589273fbba823b1f5f89809) Major bugs fixed: - EML validation robustness: normalize non-breaking spaces across EML descriptions and related fields to prevent parsing/validation failures caused by entities. (Commits: f610e4c2de4dd5191ac7f0bf19f17ff45062456c; bcd961762e8f79b8819d216e2fa4a5064d27bd20) - Improved error logging during data package generation: ensure exceptions during metadata file addition are logged with the exception message to aid debugging and issue resolution. (Commit: aeaaf35599daf2620fec568a1ecb5a1c731a7e37) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened data integrity and user efficiency in metadata workflows through centralized URL handling and direct metadata exports. The project now provides clearer validations, improved debugging capabilities, and a cleaner UI, contributing to faster issue resolution and more trustworthy data publications. - Dependency alignment with gbif-metadata-profile v2.7 reduces compatibility risk and supports continued interoperability with external services.
