Dear all, a new pre relase of the IPT is available for testing. You can try it here as usual:
* online demo http://ipt.gbif.org
* a war archive for your own tomcat installation http://gbif-providertoolkit.googlecode.com/files/ipt-1.0b.8.war
* a mac standalone version without any further dependecies ftp://ftp.gbif.org/projects/ipt/downloads/ipt-1.0b.8.dmg
Many, many thanks for the valuable feedback we have received in the past weeks. There are still outstanding bugs, but the new release 1.0b. 8 fixes many of them. Work has been done to fix SQL source problems, to provide a better property mapping interface, to connect to the GBIF registry (a test registry is currently configured) and to update darwin core extensions and vocabularies for controlled terms from central sites. If you havent tried the new Flash based maps provided by Javier de la Torre, give it a go.
If you encounter problems, please report them as usual in the issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/issues/list
best wishes, Markus
