[Isis-users] J-ISIS 1.2 Final release 23 June 2017

[De Smet Egbert]

Hi J-C,

as always I immediately installed and checked the new version of J-ISIS.
Maybe I am missing a piece of information but what is the meaning/use of the 'quick search' in the dictionary window ? After selecting an FST-prefix and putting a query (a term I suppose), nothing happens, also not after pressing 'Enter'.
Is this still unfinished ?
I will test this new version with the VIAF database to check the behaviour with huge databases. Did you work on the slow dictionary navigation meanwhile ?

Otherwise again thanks for your continuous efforts on J-ISIS.

Bug Fixes Since J-ISIS 1.2 Release Candidate

Synchronization between Data Viewer, Database Browser, and Data Entry was not working as expected and sometimes an exception was raised when adding/deleting or updating a record.

PrintSort module: some HTML header text was printed at the beginning when printing using Plain Text format and “Don’t use sorting” radio button is selected.

Enhancements Since 1.2 J-ISIS Release candidate

The real record number and Next Master File Number to be assigned are now displayed in the Data Viewer.

Many scalability improvements for huge database (i.e. more than 5 million records), the most significant are:
i)                   The number of records in the database is now stored in the metadata database with the last assigned MFN. The number of records is updated by J-ISIS when new records are created and when records are deleted. This avoid to ask Berkeley DB to go through the whole database btree for counting the records when this value is needed, and there are many places where it is needed.
ii)                 A wait cursor is displayed when loading a page of records in the database browser or a page of terms in the Dictionary of Terms.
