What will be new?
CDM Platform 4.5 (released on January 19th, 2017)¶
What's new?
CDM Platform 4.4 (released on December 5th, 2016)¶
What's new?
- General / Model
- Distribution status terms of several CDM instance have been unified and some new status were added to the CDM distribution status base vocabulary; default symbols used in condensed distribution strings were updated
- Simplification: Synonyms belong to max. 1 accepted taxon now (before they could belong to multiple taxa, this was used for pro parte synonyms, which will be handled as taxon concept relationships in future, but with special user interface functionality similar to misapplied names)
- Support for locally overriding database specific preferences (currently only implemented for preference "nomenclautral code", will be more in next version)
- Symbol for congruence concept relationships changed
- Unplaced and excluded attribute moved from taxon to taxon within classification ("taxon node"), including multi-lingual note field to document why a taxon is excluded
- Improved support for Java 8
- DataPortal
- Security
- Allow dataportal to show content only to logged in users (further improvements have bee investigated and will be implemented soon)
- Maps
- Allow distribution (area based) and occurrence (point based) data to show up on the same taxon page (better support for tabless taxon pages)
- Improved support for Google Maps
- Support for distribution maps if no distribution data is available (Fauna Europaea request)
- Performance
- Improved performance for synonymies
- Formatting:
- Improved formatting for specimen title
- Improved display for specimen altitude
- Display of "extensions" added to specimen and others

- Improved support for deleting names, taxa, persons/teams, factual data and terms in bulk editor, name editor, factual data view and term editor, including bugfixes
- Remember filter on selection dialog for named areas more individually (named areas are used at different places - distribution, specimen country, common name language area, geoscopes, ...)
- Prevent users from unwanted updates on shared data: a red warning is shown in dialogs now if a shared resource is edited (currently implemented only for reference editing)
- Preference to choose available fields for taxon details view (most fields can be selected individually now; in next version this may become a database specific preference)
- Flags for unplaced and excluded moved from taxon details view to taxon node assistant (right click in taxon navigator -> open in -> taxon node assistant)
- Excluded note (s.a.) available in taxon node assistant
- Improved handling of orphaned taxa and synonyms
- Nomenclatural status selection box shows abbreviated labels now
- User interface for import configurations improved

CDM Platform 3.12 - Hotfixes (released on February 15th, 2016)¶
This is a pure bugfix release for Release 3.12 with no new functionality
Milestones and tickets
Error executing the ref_issues macro (- can not find CustomQuery Name:'Release3.12-Hotfixes')
CDM Platform 3.12 (released on December 21st, 2015)¶
Note: Version 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 were minor releases mostly for development reasons and were not published
What's new?
DataPortal
- Taxon experts can now be displayed in a new tab of the taxon pages.
- Maps adapted to different screen size. Openlayers try to adapt to the screen size and the map aspect ratio can be set instead of fixed width and height (#5385)
- MapProxy established (#5023): Background layers for the maps can now be retrieved via the Cybertaxonomy MapProxy The layers served through the map proxy are delivered much faster and availability problems of some map server are circumvented this way. It is therefore highly recommended to use the map proxy versions of the base layers instead of the original ones so far a map proxy version is available. You may want to adapt the Geo & Map settings in your dataportal accordingly.
Taxonomic Editor
- Support for remote access without using ulteo (or any other virtual desktop)
