IPT 2.5.3 release
by Matthew Blissett 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Dear IPT users, I have released a new version of the IPT, version 2.5.3. There are only two changes since the previous version: - The Spanish translation has been completed, for both the user interface and the user manual. This is the reason for this release. - A minor bug when viewing vocabularies in the administration section has been fixed. This is probably only of interest for people running IPTs in test mode, working on this year's changes to the Darwin Core standard. It's not necessary to upgrade unless you need these changes. Instructions are in the manual as usual, and you should check your data directory backups are still working before starting the process. Best regards, Matthew Blissett Further information in English: https://ipt.gbif.org/manual/en/ipt/2.5/releases Further information in Spanish: https://ipt.gbif.org/manual/es/ipt/2.5/releases

IPT 2.5.1 release
by Mikhail Podolskiy 06 Sep '21

06 Sep '21

Dear IPT users, This is to inform you that version 2.5.1 of the IPT has been released. This version addresses a bug introduced in version 2.5.0, which prevented the IPT from connecting to database sources. Users who connect the IPT to database sources will need to upgrade to 2.5.1. Three other issues are also addressed: - Limit the number of warnings on a page - Increase the upload file size limit from 100MB to 200MB - Introduce an overwrite confirmation window for URL sources. Upgrade and installation instructions are in the new manual [1]. Please remember to check your data directory backup is working before starting the upgrade! A list of all changes is available on GitHub [2].

IPT 2.5.0 release
by Mikhail Podolskiy 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Dear IPT users, A new version of the IPT has been released, version 2.5.0. This version addresses 81 issues. A full list of all changes is available on GitHub[1], but the new or improved features include: • A fresher-looking user interface, which should still be familiar to existing users • The user manual has been converted from the GitHub Wiki to AsciiDoctor/Antora, and is now published here: https://ipt.gbif.org/manual/ . The move has allowed GBIF's worldwide Spanish-speaking community to translate the manual; their work is mostly done. • The "double log in" bug is fixed • Source data files can now be downloaded by a resource manager • Auto-publishing can now be set to specific, future dates • Archive mode can be limited to a set number of old archives to retain • A new health/troubleshooting page reports common system problems, like running out of disk space or incorrect filesystem permissions • The administration contact (for forgotten passwords) is now configurable • The initial setup is improved to ensure a correct configuration • Database (JDBC) drivers have been updated • A URL can now be used as a data source Upgrade and installation instructions are in the new manual [2]. Please remember to check your data directory backup is working before starting the upgrade! Thanks to all the translators, testers and users who helped with this release, ....

IPT 2.5.0
by Mikhail Podolskiy 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Hi folks I'd like to start by introducing myself. I am Mikhail Podolskiy, a software developer at the GBIF Secretariat. I will now be taking lead responsibility for the IPT, and will be developing the IPT following the recommendations from the consultation we held last year at the TDWG sessions. I am happy to announce that a TEST version of the forthcoming IPT 2.5.0 is available and ask if you could please help us in testing and translation. Please see the "Releases" page in the user manual for download links and upgrade instructions: https://ipt.gbif.org/manual/en/ipt/2.5/releases/ This version addresses 63 issues [1] including the famous "double log in bug" and brings in a fresher looking user interface. There are 7 further issues that we will address before the final release. This version is a release candidate, named 2.5.0-RC1 and is not suitable for production use. The new interface will need some new translations. Existing or new translators may use the Crowdin project[2] to add and update translations in traditional Chinese, French, Japanese, Persian, Brazilian, Russian and Spanish. It would be very helpful if you could help by exploring the functions you are familiar with, and if you run security tests arrange for this to happen. Please report any issues on the IPT GitHub [3]. Thank you, Mikhail [1] https://github.com/gbif/ipt/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A2.5.0 [2] https://crowdin.com/project/gbif-ipt [3] https://github.com/gbif/ipt/issues

Dear all, (Cross posting to multiple lists, so my apologies if you receive this more than once) During the TDWG Working Group sessions we held two virtual workshops to capture ideas and hold discussion around the future of the BioCASe and GBIF IPT tools. Thank you to the many people who presented and contributed in the discussion and to the hard work behind the scenes by the TDWG organizers. I am happy to share the workshop report summarizing discussion points, attached as PDF and online on Google https://tinyurl.com/tdwg-2020-IPT-BPS-report Best wishes, Tim
