  29 March 2018The Rails 5 release is now running in production. This update included a Blacklight upgrade and major updates to many other underlying libraries.This release was first deployed yesterday morning, but ran into a problem where active user sessions couldn’t transition from Rails 4 to Rails 5, and had to be rolled back. Inactive users (i.e., browsers w/out valid session cookies) should have been unaffected.This was unrelated to another systems problem, where the link resolver and many other web services became unavailable.Last evening after hours this CLIO release was redeployed, with the extra step of destroying any active sessions. Since then there have been a few minor bugs (e.g., in the RSS output), which have already been addressed.

v8.4.1
January 26th, 2017

I’m releasing CLIO 8.4.1 tonight.This includes a bug fix for the two lesser-used aggregate views, Dissertations and E-Books, (NEXT-1374 – sorting catalog results throws error)This also includes some improved work around the datasource hit-counts released last week. When the hit-count can be determined from the on-screen result set, the value is directly filled in, rather than requiring an additional server round-trip. This should improve hit-count display speed, reduce traffic on backend servers, and correct the confusing slightly-off hit counts we’ve been getting from the Summon datasource.Please continue to report anything that looks odd related to this hit-count feature. It’s new, and we’ll probably run into a few more oddities that’ll need ironing out.

v8.4.0
January 18th, 2017

This evening CLIO v8.4.0 was deployed. This version adds two notable changes.First, we’ve added a new datasource, GeoData. This new datasource queries Columbia’s GeoData server (https://geodata.library.columbia.edu) for geospatial datasets.Second, CLIO now displays a hit-count next to the major datasources listed along the left sidebar. Hit counts are shown upon initial queries, and are then absent for complex datasource-specific queries (e.g, facets).

Tomorrow evening Invisible Authorities should start working in production.Changing the indexer required rewriting the full set of Columbia’s custom indexing rules.

August 24, 2015With the Voyager upgrade now complete, we’ll be moving forward with the next CLIO release, moving authentication from WIND to CAS. CLIO 8.1.0 will be deployed after hours tonight, 8/24.WIND was a Columbia-developed customization of CAS, and is no longer supported or maintained. CAS is a standard protocol used by many institutions, with strong support and additional features, like single-sign-on.This release has been running on CLIO Test for the last two weeks. In addition to CAS, this release continues updates major libraries (Blacklight, Rails, Capistrano, RSpec).v8.0.2
August 4, 2015Today we moved CLIO to HTTPS-only. Any HTTP traffic will be redirected to HTTPS. Full URLs will be maintained, so any particular bookmarked search should retrieve the same content, just more securely than before.In conjunction with this I’ve deployed CLIO version 8.0.2. This changes text messages throughout the application from “http” to “https” (e.g., “Bookmark As” links). The LWeb Feedback form is now working again, and CLIO has been updated to point to the new version. This release also updates the version of the Blacklight library to 5.10.3.The next release, in mid-August, will move our Authentication system from WIND to CAS. Like many of our summertime releases, this should have no user-facing effect, but puts us on a more modern technology and enables things like SSO in the future.Please pass along any issues related which could be related to this update. This version has been running in development and test, but there’s always a chance of things showing up after release to production.v8.0.1
July 16, 2015Tonight after hours I’ll release CLIO 8.0.1. This version brings CLIO to Rails 4. Aside from this, there are no notable changes.Next week we’ll be moving CLIO to HTTPS only. Accessing CLIO over HTTP will automatically redirect the browser to an HTTPS connection. This configuration is already in-place on CLIO Dev and CLIO Test.This is a necessary prerequisite to moving from WIND to CAS authentication, which will be coming along in a few weeks.v7.11.9
June 24, 2015I’ve deployed CLIO 7.11.9 to production today. Again, this includes behind-the-scenes updates which help the codebase stay current, and some bug fixes, not front-end updates. Our bundled Blacklight is now v5.9.4, we’ve got a bit further to go to catchup to the newest release (5.13).One user-facing update was the addition of an icon for the recently introduced GovDoc formats, e.g., http://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/11017315v7.11.8
June 12, 2015This summer I’ll be working on updating the version of the Blacklight library we use for CLIO. Each bump to the Blacklight version means testing CLIO and then fixing any introduced issues. These updates may or may not give us improvements, but more importantly will make it easier to incorporate newer Blacklight-based functionality.I’ve just released CLIO version 7.11.8 to production, which has brought our Blacklight version from 5.3.0 to 5.7.2. There are no user-facing updates in this release.v7.11.7

            • NEXT-962 – CLIO catalog A-Z sort should respect word boundaries

v7.9.21
December 5th, 2013I’ve just released CLIO 7.9.21 to production.This release includes the view-related updates previewed over the last few weeks:
– The per-page menu has been renamed “Display Options”
– The active “per page” option now shows a checkmark, and is remembered between sessions
– The Catalog offers a Compact View option, which is remembered between sessions
– Lists of four or more holdings are collapsed on the Catalog search results screen
– Abbreviating the title to the first 100 character in the Compact View
– Thinning the box-border in Compact View to match Standard ViewIn addition, the following tickets have been resolved with this release:

• • • • • • • NEXT-93, NEXT-821, NEXT-930 – Number results in Index page
            • NEXT-113 – Do not make api request for online-only resources

            • NEXT-933 – Academic Commons switching to DOIs
            • NEXT-955 – marc field 965 not searchable

v7.9.20
November 1st, 2013

This release includes two changes to catalog search interface:No more default stemming:  this version changes how search terms are matched such that a search for orientalism will no longer match oriented and a search for Methodism will not longer retrieve method, methods, methodical.  Use the wildcard “*” at the end of a search term to expand the search results: agnostic* finds agnostic, agnostics, agnosticism, etc.We also no longer return results that match on a library location (so a keyword search for Judith Butler will not return among its results all items shelved in Butler Library by anyone named Judith).  The location (in this case “Butler Stacks”) facet remains in place for filtering results by location.This release resolves the following tickets:

• • • NEXT-51 – A user can disable/enable stemming on advanced search.
    • NEXT-350 – System supplied Automatic truncation is causing unexpected results
    • NEXT-514 – A search for women physics should return exact matches before stemmed terms
    • NEXT-677 – It would be ideal if stemming could be reworked so the results for search on methodism are not overwhelmed by hits on the word method
    • NEXT-722 – stemming causes a search for orientalism to find every record with the word object in it
    • NEXT-723 – orientalism retrieves orient / oriented / etc.
    • NEXT-871 – Disable stemming by default

v7.9.19
October 11th, 2013This release includes only a small number of display updates:

• • • • • • • NEXT-640 – Records in CLIO should include links to Hathi Trust
            • NEXT-882 – Add 515 to note_book in marc display fields
            • NEXT-923 – Add “Bookmark As” URL to catalog item detail pages
            • NEXT-931 – Online Links in Holdings (not in the Bib) should display

Please take a look at your favorite example records to see the changes in action.Behind the scenes there has been ongoing code cleanup, and updates to
make the code work better against the new non-stemming, no-location index.
We’ve also made progress towards SolrCloud, which will give us additional
reliability and possibly a small performance boost.

v7.9.14
September 9th, 2013

CLIO 7.9.14 has just been pushed to production. This release contains a large number of smaller bug fixes and cleanup for miscellaneous unreported problems, as well as the below list of specific JIRA tickets and issues.One important piece of new functionality is support for per-datasource Warning messages. This will allow us to add a message to, e.g., all Summon-based searches, to alert users about any service interruptions.

• • • • • • • NEXT-853 – Use “Citation Online” for ALL Summon records which aren’t Full Text
            • NEXT-880 – Newspaper search scope bug
            • NEXT-881 – Improve ‘Unauthorized’ message when saving to book bag
            • NEXT-885 – Update Map link for University Archives
            • NEXT-888 – CLIO not finding Academic Commons Dissertations
            • NEXT-889 – Update Hours mapping for Butler Reference
            • Support for per-datasource warnings
            • Library Hours fixes for Barnard Archives & Special Collections
            • Style fixes for Holdings
            • Relabel “Document Delivery” to “Scan & Deliver”

At the Systems level, CLIO has done well for the first week of the term. CLIO and many other systems were affected by problems with the underlying CUIT storage network and one of the CLIO datasources (Summon) has had performance problems. CLIO itself, though, has been stable. While usage has climbed by about a third at mid-day, search request timings have been roughly constant. We’ll continue monitoring CLIO from the systems perspective as the semester continues and adjust things as necessary.v7.9.1
August 19, 2013CLIO 7.9.1 has been released to production. This includes the first public release of list-management – both the ability to operate upon a list of items from the search-results screen, and the Saved List capability.The Lists features are not fully polished, but we need to start getting real-world feedback to clean this up for September. I expect we’ll be making daily releases for a while as we rapidly address bugs and interface problems. Please send along any suggestions.

Additionally, our data is back to overnight syncing between Voyager and CLIO.Throughout this production release we’ve been monitoring the various servers now involved in supporting CLIO.  As anticipated, we are nowhere near having capacity issues.  We will, though, be working with the SysAdmins over the coming weeks to tune our systems in anticipation of higher traffic later in the year.

    • Lots of other small fixes.

v2.1.5
Oct 19, 2011

• • • Changed interactions with the holdings server slightly, so it won’t try to save sessions: this is apparently not working that reliably. It’ll slow down holdings requests slightly, but for now, it’s what keeping things working.
