Version 2.1
Release Date: June, 2010
- Study versioning: You can now easily track all the changes made to your studies and reference both old data files as well as current ones. Users can view the changes between study versions and see who has contributed to each version. You can also edit a study and review your changes while keeping the released version of the study intact for the end users. When you are ready, you can release the new, updated version.
- More options for contributors to your dataverse: We are introducing two new types of dataverses, Open dataverse and Wiki dataverse. In an Open dataverse, users can add studies by simply creating an account, and can edit their own studies any time, even after the study is released. In a Wiki dataverse, users cannot only add studies by creating an account, but also edit any study in that dataverse. Contributors cannot, however, release a study directly. After their edits, they submit it for review and a dataverse administrator or curator will release it. We have also added more ways to configure the contributor role for dataverses that are neither "Open" or "Wiki".
- Deaccession of studies: If a study is no longer valid,it can now be deaccessioned so it's unavailable to users but still has a working citation. A reference to a new study can be provided when deaccessioning a study. Only Network Administrators can now permanently delete a study once it has been released.
- Harvesting Performance improvements and numerous bug fixes in file upload, search, etc.
