Changed system requirements
- The minimum required version of PHP is now 7.1
- The minimum required version of MySQL is now 5.6.4
Improvements
- Full-text, cross-resource search
- Configurable resource title and description properties
- Search results (for both the fulltext and "legacy" search paths) can now also match against the titles of linked resources
- Improved performance of queries to count results (this encompasses most "browse" type queries since they almost all present a count of total results)
- A new general settings option allows administrators to change the default visibility for newly-created content to Private (contributed by @ManOnDaMoon)
- A new batch editing option allows users to change the visibility of existing values
- Users can specify custom sorting to override the admin-defined order of item sets for a site (#1426, contributed by @pols12 )
- Jobs can now be filtered by status (contributed by @Daniel-KM)
- Added "skip navigation" accessibility link to admin interface
- Improved case-folding and sort order of locale selection in settings
Bugs Fixed
- Some translation strings were missing and incorrect (#1396, contributed by @ManOnDaMoon)
- It was not possible to delete users that were the "owners" of sites (#1398)
- An incorrect configuration existed in the database configuration for resource templates (contributed by @kloor)
- Batch editing could sometimes cause "A new entity was found" errors from Doctrine (#1415)
- A confusing error was displayed when the current theme could not be loaded
- A closing heading tag was missing from some block layouts with certain settings selected (contributed by @Daniel-KM)
- Color profile information was discarded when creating thumbnails of images using the GD thumbnailer (#1421, contributed by @Daniel-KM)
Changes
- To improve performance on larger database, the pages for properties and resource classes no longer include the counts of items using each property or class directly on the page; instead they are presented on the details sidebar (and so are viewed one-at-a-time) (contributed by @kloor)
- The "environment" checks (for minimum versions of PHP, MySQL, etc.) are now performed on the upgrade/migrate screen in addition to the installer, to account for changes in Omeka S's requirements
- Direct migration/upgrade from the pre 1.0 alphas and betas is no longer available
