[GeoNetwork-users] GeoNetwork 2.1 alpha 2 is out

Hi all,

I have just uploaded a new alpha. This release is starting to resemble to the
final one. For a full description of what have been added/changed please see
the usual docs/changes.txt file. Here are some notes:

- The harvesting code is finished for the geonetwork node type. Due to the new
  protocol, you can harvest only from a GN 2.1 node. The web folder harvesting
  type is not implemented yet even the web interface is fully working.

- Many options have been moved to a web form. Once installed, use username='admin'
  and password='admin' to login and select the admin form. There you can find the
  link to the web form for the options.

- The metadata root element for the 19139 has been changed to MD_Metadata
  and now the 'gmd' namespace prefix must be explicit in order to have the editor
  working.

- The editor works, more or less. You can update information but you cannot add new
  elements. Other work must be done here.

- The CSW code is in its final form. Please notice that now the HOST and PORT values
  into the capabilities output are taken from the system config so, go the web form
  and supply proper values for the 'server' part.

We have planned to provide a first beta within first 2 weeks of February with all
mandatory parts implemented. This release will have a fully working editor with
subtemplates, a localization web form, a new simplified installer and a new stand
alone application to execute tasks that could not be handled by a web form.

Happy testing!

Cheers,
Andrea

Hello Andrea Carboni

I think it is a great idea to add the possibiltity to use a JDBC for
PostgreSQL, but I struggle a bit to get it runnin. The Problems seems to be,
that PostgreSQL doesn't know the Charaktertype LONGVARCHAR, what during
installation stops the build-up of the tables. The problem seems to be that
PostgreSQL databases don't know the JaceType LONGVARCHAR. Is it a bug or
have I done somethin wrong?

Hi André,

Postgres is supported in GN 2.1 and there is already a schema file to
create the database. Maybe I forgot to add that option to the installer.

Anyway, in the new beta you will not have to choose the dbms at
installation time but using GAST you will be able to change it any time.

As a general information to all, we are finishing the latest things,
fixing many small bugs and doing little improvements all around.
Maybe we will release the first beta soon.

Cheers,
Andrea
