1.2.2

Release note available from https://github.com/CanDIG/candig-server/releases/tag/v1.2.2

As indicated in the release note, the previous v1.2.1 release did not correctly preserve backware compatibilities for access_list that uses null (not specifying anything) to indicate no access. It also did not correctly process the information when an empty space is used.

This release fixed the issue.

If you are already using X to indicate no access when you upgraded to v1.2.1, no further action is required. You may update to this version of candig-server without performing any additional changes.

If you are still using empty space, or null to indicate no access, please do not use v1.2.1 release of the candig-server, use this one instead. It is still recommended to use X over empty space or null to indicate no access.

  • Step 1: Update the candig-server in your virtual environment to v1.2.2.

  • Step 2: Replace all empty space with X.

1.2.1

Release note available from https://github.com/CanDIG/candig-server/releases/tag/v1.2.1

As indicated in the release note, X is now used to indicate no access. You may see a newly-updated sample access_list file from Production Deployment.

If you have used empty space to indicate no access, you should:

  • Step 1: Update the candig-server in your virtual environment to v1.2.1.

  • Step 2: Replace all empty space with X.

You should always restart the candig-server service when you update to a new candig-server.

As indicated in the release note, DUO:0000002 and DUO:0000003 are no longer valid DUO ids.

If you have specified one of these two for one or more of your datasets, you should

  • Step 1: Remove DUO:0000002 and DUO:0000003 from the json file that holds info regarding your data use restrictions.

  • Step 2: Re-run the add-dataset-duo command.

You should restart the candig-server service when you make changes to the data.
