Notes

Blacklight 6 Impending Release

  • J. Coyne, Chris Beer, and others have working on Blacklight (BL) 6 for a long time

  • Several prereleases are already out

  • Now, the community is about to release final product

  • An invitation to review outstanding Pull Requests has been issued

  • The Gems needed to support BL 6 are in the process of being updated

    • The exception lies with Hydra Collections

    • Version 6 for hydra-collections (which supports the PCDM) was already released

    • A new version of hydra-collections would be a minor version (pretty big changes would still be involved, and hence would be serve as a "substantial minor version")

  • How precisely are these PR's best reviewed?

    • Visual code review

    • Ensure that all tests are passing

    • Ensure that the code base is documented as needed

  • Is this to be integrated with Sufia 7?

    • Yes.  J. Coyne is currently preparing to work with CurationConcerns in integrating Blacklight 6

    • Once this has been finished, integration with Sufia 7 hopefully shouldn't require many changes

  • Major Change for Setting Search Filters

    • For BL 5 versions, search filters could be set at the Controller or Filters themselves

    • For BL 6, this has been restricted to the Filter alone

  • Shall the merging of these pull requests update the version of hydra-head to 10 or 9.10?

    • This shall likely be 10, forcing one to upgrade

    • It should be clarified that Sufia 7 release has not yet been released

    • Hence, support for Blacklight 6 (and, thus, hydra-head 10) will likely be featured in the initial Sufia 7 release
