7 May 2022

Omeka S version 3.2.0 is now available (major release).

Upgrading to Omeka S 3.2.0

What's New in Omeka S 3.2.0

• Value Annotation
  
• Users can now use metadata properties and values to describe/annotate values, or, put another way, to make statements about their statements. This introduces the concept of reification to Omeka S. Users can choose to make ambiguous facts more concrete by annotating things like: provenance (Where is this fact from?), time (When did this fact occur?), location: (What is the location associated with this fact?), certainty (What is the confidence of this fact?), type (What type of concept/thing is this fact?), and more.
  
• New site setting to choose whether to show value annotations publicly
  
• Fulltext search now includes the text of value annotations (with their parent resources) and media metadata (with their parent items)
  
• Search results now include thumbnails where appropriate
  
• Public resource show pages for resources not included on a site now include "noindex" meta-tags to avoid search engines potentially indexing resources under the wrong sites
  
• Theme config can now set the "required" flag for form inputs
  
• The page title block now uses a view so themes can override it (#1787, contributed by @grandgeorg)
  
• Data types can optionally accept an extra array argument of options to their render method (partiarlly contributed by @Daniel-KM)

• Fixed several typos and code quality issues (#1794, #1811, contributed by @stweil)
