[IPT] New IPT version: 2.4.0.

[Matthew Blissett]

Dear IPT users,

A new version of the IPT has been released, version 2.4.0.

This version includes security updates from Struts and Jackson (code libraries the IPT uses).  For this reason, all users should upgrade.

It also includes support for DataCite's new API for issuing DOIs, since the old API has been switched off.

The new version is available for download herehttps://repository.gbif.org/content/groups/gbif/org/gbif/ipt/2.4.0/ipt-2.4.0.war  <http://repository.gbif.org/content/groups/gbif/org/gbif/ipt/2.3.4/ipt-2.3.4.war>  .  New CentOS packages and Docker containers have also been generated, please see https://github.com/gbif/ipt/blob/master/package/rpm/README.md and https://github.com/gbif/docker-ipt.

Please read the release notes, particularly if you are not upgrading from the previous release, 2.3.6:https://github.com/gbif/ipt/wiki/IPTReleaseNotes233.wiki

Sincerely,

Matthew Blissett
GBIF Secretariat
