NCBI release 20210618
Hi @lathrops1,
In @DioneMentis absence I have created the following high-level release notes. The NCBI testing site update is in progress.
Dev completed; this update includes the development of all issues with the label: release-20210618.
The main development being:
- Uploading Source files and Bookshelf PDFs to a wholebook.
- Focus on the XML workflow and handling the relationship between source and converted files.
- UI; handling labelling, versioning & status updates for uploaded files and conversions.
- UI; handling conversion errors using a Job ID.
- Displaying cover images in Preview.
- Books and Collection search and filtering.
Additional comments:
- Preview icon is clickable during conversion (#489 (closed)), this is a known issue and the fix will form a part of the next release.
- Test FTP for wholebooks (#387 (closed)) requires further testing and feedback from NCBI team.
- Search related enhancement tasks are ongoing and managed in this issue; #494 (closed)
- Moving error notifications into a 'history view' (#310 (closed) ) will form a part of the next release.
- Testing of Word and XML workflows should be conducted at this stage.
@John.kopanas has confirmed the deployment is complete. During the deployment, all efforts were made to maintain as much of the existing data as possible - please let us know if anything is missing.
Testing use cases
XML source submissions via FTP
I have updated the description for FTP submission in #183 -- all ticked off use cases are included in this release.
Wholebook XML submissions: tags for file types
We have implemented the simplest version of tagging in this release. It's limited to only the tags that are need to result in a preview.
- When a wholebook is submitted by FTP, user will see
main_xml
andbook_pdf
file type from the manifest applied in the UI as a tag. (changing or removing a tag will become relevant we we get to the development of resolving FTP submission errors). - When a user submits wholebook files in the BMCS, he must apply
main_xml
andbook_pdf
tags before submission is possible.
