2.2.0

2.2.0

Version 2.2.0 includes new features requested by stakeholders, including an advanced search and the ability to limit results by a range of dates.

Filtering by date range (#474)

• Implements the blacklight_range_limit gem to provide a facet for restricting catalog search results to a range of dates.
• Creates an integer-valued index field from the date_created field by converting (where possible) a four-digit string value representative of a year.
• Where the date_created field contains something other than a four-digit value, a null value is used for the year indexer.
• Implements a slider facet in the UI, allowing the user to select works within a range of dates and/or to view works where the date created is Unknown (i.e., not a four-digit year).
• Patches a bug where the wrong Blacklight params were passed to the controller for the range limit search.
• Note that implementation of this feature requires a re-index of the repository.

Advanced search (#551)

• Implements the blacklight_advanced_search gem to provide the ability to search the repository by multiple fields.

Bug fixes

• Batch editing works from the dashboard no longer throws an error (#316).
