== Current Version 3 ==

=== Upcoming ===
* Local QueryTool: If a typified name is given for a type, it is now listed in brackets after the type status.
* Java version now shows type of JRE installed (for example OpenJDK)
* If configuration files cannot be loaded, raise an exception right away (makes it easier for the user to identify the problem if the setup script is run with missing configuration files).
* Fixes
** in DB structure editor of ConfigTool: If a table is removed from the setup, the second confirmation dialog has been removed. This keeps the user from rendering the configuration invalid by keeping invalid FKs.
** in DB structure editor of ConfigTool: If a table is purged from the setup because of a missing primary key or table name, a more verbose message is being printed.
** for XML archiving: Hashtag character removed from dataset title when generating the archive names; the download link for the archiving page of the config tool is now correctly URL-encoded.
** for layout of ''dsa_info'' page for new Firefox Quantum (versions 57+).

* Slight changes and fixes in mapping editor (pop-up window can now be closed with Return or Escape) and datasource overview of the configuration tool.
* Fixes
** In wrapper core for mandatory attributes: If unmapped, the respective element is now removed (used to be removed only if the mandatory attribute was mapped to an empty, i.e. NULL field).
** for dbmod_odbc_tsql/dbmod_odbc_tsql_2012: In certain cases, SQL statements used to return no results for no reason. Parameters are now integrated into the statements instead of being passed separately, that fixed the issue.

** for non-ASCII characters in element attributes (used to break the request).

=== Version 3.4 [2013-02-20] ===
* XML archiving re-implemented:
** Now directly calls BioCASe libraries instead of using the web service. Results in less complex code and significantly improved archiving performance.
** XML documents are not pretty-printed any more, but stored without line breaks and leading spaces for indentation, which results in smaller documents and smaller archives.

* Bugfix: When on the DB Connection page of the config tool the Save button was pressed after the user had been logged out because of a long period of inactivity, the settings were lost. This has been fixed.

=== Version 3.3.1 [2012-11-09] ===
* Archiving: Archive name is now set automatically by BioCASe; various smaller changes.
* Upgrade feature changed; now possible to a schema with the same namespace. For example, an existing ABCD 2.06 schema mapping can now be upgraded to ABCD-EFG or ABCD-DNA and vice versa. More upgrade paths added.
* Fixes
** dbmod_odbc_tsql now lists tables of all schemas (not only dbo)
** dbmod_oracle/oracle now use correct format for date/datetime conversion

=== Version 3.2 [2012-07-09] ===
* DarwinCore Archives fully integrated into config tool interface
* Changes for XML archiving:
** Log files are kept for old archives and can be viewed later even if a XML archive generation for the same file name was started, but was not finished successfully (in the past, this used to overwrite the old log file)
** Log files of failed or cancelled archiving runs can be viewed later
** If errors occur during archiving, the log output is less arcane now (e.g. when ceODBC is used)
** Format of output changed
* Fixes for page ''DB Structure'':
** DB graph generation works now also when IIS is used
** No exception thrown in case there is no connection to the database
* Other fixes:
** Removing a schema mapping in the config tool doesn't break the Capabilities any more (PSF is updated to reflect this change)
** install/readme files updated

=== Version 3.1 [2012-04-23] ===
* Fixes for XML archives:
** Compatibility issue with IIS solved (root directory returned by webserver is different from Apache's, see http://osdir.com/ml/python.web/2005-10/msg00008.html)
** Webinterface overhauled; reacts faster now because server interaction has been reduced
** If webinterface is left open in the browser during archive generation, less load is put on the server for showing the progress
** XML declaration added to documents
** If documents contain elements from several schemas (e.g. an extension is used), all namespaces are added
** Bugfix for the case that no results are returned for the chosen mapping.
** Archiving binary moved from archive working folder to archive lib folder
* Metadata retrieval added for pymssql (SQL Server connectivity package)
* Error message for dbmods that don't support parameters (such as pymssql) is less arcane now (dbmod_base changed)
* "Wrong" error messages removed for unicode datasources and in mapping editor
* Setup script now fixes write permissions for archive folders (working/download directory)
* Hint on the usage of literals and concatenation added to mapping editor
* Bugfix in library test page (for the case that Apache has different access privileges than Python)
* Bugfix in Mapping Editor for literals containing unicode characters
* Bugfixes for deleting a datasource:
** Archive folders will now be correctly removed (both working and download directory)
** Deleting a datasource with the same name as a previously deleted datasource that is still in the recycling bin now works; it will replace the old version in the recycling bin
* Bugfix for start page: Leftover debug code removed that always logged an error ("in index")

* "Report a bug" links added
* Fixes in wrapper core:
** ORDER BY clause now always used in first query when paging (necessary also when OFFSET is used)
** Python-sorting of ID list returned by first query removed (already done by DB; caused problems under certain circumstances when paging because Python sort order might be different from DB sort order)
* Optimization in wrapper core: 
** Check for uniqueness of IDs in the list returned by first query only done when this is not alreay done by DISTINCT clause in query.
** Db_mod Oracle now uses paging optimization.

===Version 3.0RC2 [2011-11-24]===

===Version 2.6.0 [2011-06-07]===
New Features:
* Table Setup completely overhauled: Tables/Columns will now be retrieved from the database and shown in drop-down-boxes when Postgres, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Access or Foxpro are used.
* Mapping Editor now shows table columns in drop-down-boxes when Postgres, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Access or Foxpro are used.
* When MySQL or Postgres is used, for Search requests the OFFSET SQL clause is used now for paging; this improves performance for harvesting large datasets considerably.

* Mapping Editor shows XML Path for current element
* Deleted datasources and schemas will now be moved to a recycle bin and can be restored later.
* Several confirmation dialogs and smaller changes in UI.

* "Mapping Test" in mapping editor now uses the Query Forms, which are more reliable.

Bugs fixed:
* Session management: User gets logged out only when inactive for more than 30 mins.
* Bugfix for unicode characters in mapped literals.
* Mapping editor: Added elements do not disappear temporarily any more.
* Subversion users: BPS now can handle write-protected svn folders when removing a datasource.
* Graphviz dot binary now works also when installed in a folder with a name containing spaces
* Creating multiple mapping files for same namespace will be prevented now
* Display issues for paths containing "\b" and "\t"
* Filters combining two comparison operators that always evaluate to FALSE with OR will now be compressed correctly to FALSE, not TRUE.

* removed all metakit lib dependencies, thereby removing the concept finder window in the configtool. To select a new concept for mapping you can list all concepts of a schema or enter the xpath to one.
* Introduced a new ''cache'' directory where all temporary files go like user session data, pickled CMFs or temporary configtool files. To remove any cached files you can now simply empty this one folder!
* remove many old relicts that were never used like datasource metadata, system metadata, database autodiscovery, etc (all nice features to have for a future release, but they were never implemented so far)
* Use a new config singleton based on some simple ini text files. Incl a new parameter "prettyprint" to format the output nicely
