Dear IPT users,

The GBIF Secretariat is pleased to announce that a new release of the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT v2.2) is now available for download here. For information about how to upgrade your installation, you can check out the Release Notes.

Added to this version, is the ability to automatically connect with either DataCite or EZID to assign DOIs to datasets. This new feature makes biodiversity data easier to access on the Web and facilitates tracking its re-use. To find out what else is new, you can check out the latest post on the GBIF Developer Blog.

New users should follow the installation guidelines in the IPT User Manual that has been updated for this version.

Thank you once again for using the IPT, and we hope you enjoy the latest version.

With kind regards,

Kyle, on behalf of the GBIF development team and the GBIF Secretariat
