Dear IPT users,
Thank you to everyone that tested the IPT v2.3 release candidate (RC1).
Following RC1’s release, a significant amount of improvements have taken place thus warranting a second release candidate (RC2) [1].
Once again we’d greatly appreciate your help testing. Beware, however, that this version is only intended for testing and should not be installed in production. For those that don’t have time to install it themselves, remember you can use
http://ipt.gbif-uat.org/ [2].
The most notable change in RC2 requiring testing, is that an organisation no longer needs to be installed in order to start publishing resources. If you encounter problems with this change, please update its corresponding issue here [3].
Thank you again for your attention and help in creating another successful version of the IPT.
Kyle, on behalf of the IPT development team and the GBIF Secretariat
PS: Please note that the IPT project site has officially moved to GitHub [4] now.
Dear IPT users,
A release candidate of IPT v2.3 is now available for
download [1]. Please note this release is only intended for testing, and should not be installed in production. If you don’t have time to install it, you can always try it out at
http://ipt.gbif-uat.org/ [2] (just email me if you want an account).
Its most notable enhancements include:
- Support for publishing sample-based datasets, incorporating all the changes now in the prototype at the EU BON IPT [3]
- Support for versionable IPT extensions, making it possible to update to newer versions whenever they become available
- A slightly redesigned mapping page, making it easier to map your source data
If no major problems are uncovered during testing, IPT v2.3 will be released next week. In the meantime, volunteer translators are hard at work, and the user manual is being updated.
Thank you for your attention and help,
Kyle, on behalf of the IPT development team and the GBIF Secretariat
