---

• Breaking Changes

  • [BREAKING CHANGE] Changed range facets LPSE codes from w-w to w- and w+w to w+ (i.e. removed the trailing LPSE code)

• New Features

  • Added in lookahead query handler for Solr Panl including Panl results viewer lookahead
  • Added in OR SEPARATOR facets so that OR facets can be separated with a string and only have one LPSE code.
  • Added in solr.numrows.maximum property so that this will always be the limit to the number of results returned, this will default to
    solr.numrows.default
  • Added in BOOLEAN checkbox functionality
  • Ability to select specific search fields added.
  • Added panl.unless.<lpse_code> fields
  • 'Fixed' the keyword search for multiple words so that they use the defined q.op parameter for both default and Specific Solr Search Fields.

• Bug fixes

  • Bug where Panl client will always look for the 'q' parameter for the query, changed to ensure that the correct configured panl.form.query.respondto is used instead
  • Always reset the page to 1 if there is a panl.form.query.respondto URL parameter
  • (Maybe this was a feature?) Updated Single Page search to allow multiple selections for Facets which are multivalued (as opposed to OR Facets)
  • Fixed where a single value LPSE code for a RANGE facet was the first
    selected item, and other selections would erroneously add an infix designator.
  • Fixed the URL path encoding
  • Fixed bug in lookahead handler with not properly encoding queries

• Code Changes

  • Fixed the overriding query respond to parameter
  • Added in Testing for the Panl Generator and refactored how it is being done.
  • Refactored PanlFields for the generator to output better comments and helpful information rather than more comments than necessary
  • General code cleanup and refactorings
  • Updated the look and feel for the Panl Simple Results Viewer Web App ( including images)
  • Modularised the JavaScript for common functions.

• Documentation update

  • Added in keyword search integration and 'search within results' integration notes
  • Changed the panl.form.query.respondto documentation to point to search rather than the previously defined q to reduce confusion
  • General spelling and grammatical mistake updates
  • Addition of new functionality and configuration properties pushing the book to be over 500 pages.
