Mass Digitization App version 1.1.30

This minor version is a pre-release meant for testing purposes. It resolves a number of issues that come forward during testing and evaluation of v1.1.24 plus some older issues that came to the fore again and issues related to v1.1.16 that has been used in production at the end of last year. It covers several version tags that are no longer available as pre-releases.

v1.1.26

This tag includes the following fixes:

1. Ability to create new taxa even though they match known ones #466 (tagged as v1.1.25)
2. Ensuring that taxon author name is carried over as per tickets #434 and #476

For the first fix it is made possible to escape the taxon autosuggest box by pressing escape that will result in the text written being transferred to the taxon name input field without matching to a known taxon. It will also filter out any asterisk (*) characters that may have been added. This way, whenever an end user has a taxon name without author name added, it can escape the matches by adding the asterisk and then pressing escape. It will have to best tested whether this is a viable and acceptable solution.

For the second fix, the taxon author name is now added to the specimen table and will receive a selected taxon's author name. This will be transferred to the taxon export and presumably pass through post-processing. Then the taxon author field can be mapped to the corresponding field in Specify when importing.

v1.1.28

This tag includes the following fixes:

1. Crash when entering taxon number (#474) tagged as v1.1.27
2. Author names not carried over (#476)

The latter fix alleviates some of the issues found during testing:

• The addition of the taxon dassco id column that supersedes the taxon spid column; This column is to be used to indicate that the taxon is known in the taxon spine already. The GREL script has been changed to check for the taxondasscoid column now instead of the taxonspid column
• Removal of the asterisk from the atomic taxon name; Previously it was only removed from the fullname
• The GREL script has been adapted as to create separate columns for the author name of each rank and also makes sure these columns are retained in the final re-ordering. This way these author name columns can be mapped in Specify for each taxon rank.

1.1.29

This tag includes the following fix:

• Parse new hybrid names and correctly assign species rank (#346)

Whenever a taxon is entered that is unknown to the taxon spine it needs to guess its rank on the basis of the structure of the full name entered. This is now also made possible for hybrids by recognizing the string pattern " x " within the name and then assigning it rank of species.

1.1.30

This tag includes the following fixes:

• Full text search now collection-specific
• Entering new taxon now clears taxon number field (#441)
• Notes field no longer sticky (#440)
• New or verbatim taxon note has been disabled (#457)

Full text search now collection-specific

The virtual FTS (Full Text Search) table meant to facilitate full text search did not include columns for institution and taxontree id, so the search was not limited to the current collection, but crossed all collections. With this fix these columns were added to the virtual table denoting institution and taxontree and corresponding filters were added to the FTS search.

Entering new taxon now clears taxon number field

Several issues that were uncovered while investigating #441:

• Entering new taxon did not clear taxon number field
• Family's taxon number was transferred for any new taxon entered, instead of the taxon number being cleared
• Taxon number was not always cleared whenever I type in and select a known taxon.
• Newly entered taxa were not successfully saved into the local app db for subsequent suggestion
