Added

  • Ability to submit multiple selected files within a dataset to an extractor.

  • Support for Amplitude clickstream tracking. See Admin -> Customize to configure Amplitude apikey.

Fixed

  • Error uploading to spaces that did not have extractors enabled/disabled (personel spaces).

  • If extractor does not have any parameters, there would be an error message in the console of the browser.

  • If the extractor did not have a user_id it would create an error and not record the event.

Changed

Fixed

  • Return thumbnail as part of the file information. #8

  • Datasets layout on space page would sometimes have overlapping tiles.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug related to improper indexing of files in nested subfolders, which could also affect searching by parent dataset.

1.8.3 - 2020-04-28

*Warning:* This update modifies how information is stored in Elasticsearch for text based searching. To take advantage of these changes a reindex of Elasticsearch is required. This can be started by an admin either from GUI or through the API.

Changed

  • Elasticsearch indexer will now store new metadata fields as strings to avoid unexpected behavior on date fields.

  • When reindexing use a temporary index to reindex while the current one is in use then swap.

Fixed

  • Ability to delete tags from sections and files on the file page. CATS-1046 CATS-1042

  • Missing index in statistics which would slow down system when inserting download/views.

Added

  • GitHub Actions to compile and test the code base, create documentation and docker images.

  • Code of Conduct as MD file (will be displayed by GitHub).

  • Templates for Bug, Feature and Pull Request on GitHub.

1.8.2 - 2020-02-19

Fixed

  • Use the passed-in length within S3ByteStorageService.save.

1.8.1 - 2020-02-05

Removed

  • Removed unused RDF libraries. This was probably used by the rdf/xml functionality that was removed a while back but the dependencies were never removed.

  • Removed Jena validation of JSON-LD metadata. It was creating a blank graph and clients couldn’t upload metadata when Clowder runs in a location that doesn’t not have access to https://clowderframework.org/contexts/metadata.jsonld.

Added

  • Scripts to migrate files on disk AWS S3. CATS-1034

Changed

  • Include collection prefix in path when saving to S3.

  • Include length of file in FileService when saving the bytes to any backend service. This helps optimize S3 implementation.

  • Upgraded sbt from 0.13.0 to 0.13.6 to fix build failures. CATS-1038

Fixed

  • Calling api/Files.removeFile should no longer decrement related counters twice. CATS-929

1.8.0 - 2019-11-06

*Warning:* This update adds a new permission for archiving files and adds it to the Admin role. Please make sure to run Clowder with the ``MONGOUPDATE`` flag set to update the database.

Changed

  • /api/search endpoint now returns JSON objects describing each result rather than just the ID. This endpoint has three new parameters - from, size, and page. The result JSON objects will also return pagination data such as next and previous page if Elasticsearch plugin is enabled and these parameters are used.

  • S3ByteStorageService now uses AWS TransferManager for saving bytes - uploads larger than ~1GB should now save more reliably.

  • /api/search endpoint now returns JSON objects describing each result rather than just the ID.

  • Clean up docker build. Use new buildkit to speed up builds. Store version/branch/git as environment variables in docker image so that they can be inspected at runtime with Docker.

  • Extractors are now in their own docker-compose file. Use Traefik for proxy. Use env file for setting options.

  • Utilize bulk get methods for resources widely across the application, including checking permissions for many resources at once. Several instances where checks for resource existence were being done multiple times (e.g. in a method and then in another method the first one calls) to reduce MongoDB query load. These bulk requests will also report any missing IDs in the requested list so developers can handle those appropriately if needed.

  • Removed mini icons for resource types on tiles. CATS-1031

  • Cleaned up pages to list and enable extractors. Added description of what the page does. Added links to extraction info pages. Removed authors from table.

Added

  • Ability to pass runtime parameters to an extractor, with a UI form dynamically generated UI from extractor_info.json. CATS-1019

  • Infinite scrolling on search return pages.

  • Trigger archival process automatically based on when a file was last viewed/downloaded and the size of the file.

  • Script to check if mongodb/rabbitmq is up and running, used by Kubernetes Helm chart.

  • Queuing system that allows services such as Elasticsearch and RabbitMQ to store requested actions in MongoDB for handling asynchronously, allowing API calls to return as soon as the action is queued rather than waiting for the action to complete.

  • New extractors monitor docker image to monitor extraction queues. Monitor app includes UI that shows selected information about the extractors

  • New /api/thumbnails/:id endpoint to download a thumbnail image from ID found in search results.

  • New utility methods in services to retrieve multiple MongoDB resources in one query instead of iterating over a list.

  • Support for MongoDB 3.6 and below. This required the removal of aggregators which can result in operations taking a little longer. This is needed to support Clowder as a Kubernetes Helm chart. CATS-806

  • New Tree view as a tab in home page to navigate resources as a hiearchical tree (spaces, collections, datasets, folders and files). The tree is lazily loaded using a new endpoint api/tree/getChildrenOfNode.

Fixed

  • Downloading metrics reports would fail due to timeout on large databases. Report CSVs are now streamed to the client as they are generated instead of being generated on the server and sent at the end.

  • Social accounts would not properly be added to a space after accepting an email invite to join it.

  • Fixed bug where extractors monitor will not print error, but just return 0 if queue is not found.

  • Pagination controls are now vertically aligned and use unescaped ampersands.

  • Changing the page size on dataset, collection, space listings would not properly update elements visible on the page. CATS-1030

  • Added a max of 100 status messages on the page listing all extractions. Before this trying to list all extractions in the system was causing the JVM to run out of memory. CATS-1032

  • Added padding to the top of the footer so that the superadmin notification does not cover buttons and the buttons at the end of forms are not too close to the footer and difficult to see.

1.7.4 - 2019-10-21

Fixed

  • Extractors that don’t specify EXTRACT as categories don’t show up in the manual submission page. CATS-1023

1.7.3 - 2019-08-19

Fixed

  • Fixed bug where metadata field names in the search box were being forced to lowercase, omitting search results due to case sensitivity.

1.7.2 - 2019-08-01

Fixed

  • RabbitMQ plugin would throw an exception if rabbitmq server restarted. CATS-1012

Changed

  • Changed internal regex wrapping syntax on search box queries to better handle complex terms.

  • Updated core documentation, both the content and version of Sphinx. CATS-865

1.7.1 - 2019-07-09

Fixed

  • Logging was accidently set to DEBUG, reverted it back to INFO

1.7.0 - 2019-07-08

This update will require a reindex of Elasticsearch. After deploying the update either call ``POST to /api/reindex`` or navigate to the ``Admin > Indexes`` menu and click on the ``Reindex`` button.

Fixed

  • HTTP 500 error when posting new metadata.

Added

  • Add archive button on file page which can trigger archive extractor to archive this file.

  • Added S3ByteStorageService for storing uploaded bytes in S3-compatible buckets. CATS-992

  • Added support for archiving files in Clowder and preparing an admin email if user attempts to download archived file. CATS-981

  • Listen for heartbeat messages from extractors and update list of registered extractors based on extractor info received. For extractors using this method they will not need to manually register themselves through API to be listed. CATS-1004

  • Added support for extractor categories that can be used for retrieving filtered lists of extrators by category.

Changed

  • Improved Advanced Search UI to retain search results between navigations. CATS-1001

  • Display more info on the manual submission page, link to ExtractorDetails view. CATS-959

  • Clean up of Search pages. Renamed Advanced Search to Metadata Search. Added search form and Metadata Search link to main Search page. Consistent and improved search results on both search pages. CATS-994

  • Updated the mongo-init docker image to aks for inputs if not specified as an environment variable. docker run -ti --rm --network clowder_clowder clowder/mongo-init

  • Rework of the Elasticsearch index to include improved syntax and better documentation on the basic search page.

1.6.2 - 2019-05-23

  • Removed unused queries for comments throughout the application.

Added

  • Script to cleanup/migrate userpass account data to cilogon accounts.

1.6.0 - 2019-04-01

Added

  • User API Keys are now sent over to extractors (instead of the global key). If user doesn’t provide a user key with the request, one is gets created with name _extraction_key. If no user is available, the global key is used. CATS-901
