Upgrade notes:
--------------

If you are upgrading from CDS Invenio v0.92.1, then we advise you to
try the upgrade first on a development server.  There was a number of
important changes since the last stable release that might make the
upgrade possibly time-consuming in case you have to dump and reload
your bibliographic tables.  Please follow the following steps:

   - Launch the bibsched monitor and wait until all active bibsched
     tasks are finished.  Then put bibsched daemon into manual mode.

   - Stop all submission procedures and other write operations.  For
     example, you may want to stop Apache, edit httpd.conf to
     introduce a global site redirect to a temporary splash page
     saying that upgrade is in progress, and restart Apache.

   - Take a backup of your current MySQL database and your CDS Invenio
     installation directory (usually /opt/cds-invenio).  Remove your
     old /opt/cds-invenio/...

Installation notes:
-------------------

Please follow the INSTALL file bundled in the distribution tarball.

Upgrade notes:
--------------

If you are upgrading from CDS Invenio v0.92.0, then please follow the
following steps:

   - Launch the bibsched monitor and wait until all active bibsched
     tasks are finished.  Then put bibsched daemon into manual mode.

   - Stop all submission procedures and other write operations: for
     example, you may want to switch your site to read-only mode (set
     CFG_ACCESS_CONTROL_LEVEL_SITE to 1 in access_control_config.py
     and restart Apache) or you may want to stop Apache completely.

   - Optionally, you may want to backup your current MySQL database
     and your CDS Invenio installation directory (@prefix@).  Note
     that this step should not be really necessary for the v0.92.0 to
     v0.92.1 upgrade, since the changes are of moderate nature only.

   - Untar new sources and rerun configure with old arguments.  Your
     old configure line is available at
     @prefix@/etc/build/config.nice.

   - Merge your old config.wml with the new one.  Your old config.wml
     file is available at @prefix@/lib/wml/invenio/config.wml.  There
     were no changes to this file in v0.92.1, so you may simply copy
     your old version.

   - Run make.

   - If you have customized your @prefix/etc/ files since the last
     installation (for example to edit the stopwords list or configure
     language stemmers), then make a backup copy of them now.

   - Run make install.

   - If you have backed up your old @prefix@/etc/ directory as
     mentioned before, then restore your old files now, paying
     attention to differences with the new versions.

   - Update your database table structure:

        $ make update-v0.92.0-tables

   - Re-enable write access to the site if you have disabled it before
     in the previous steps and restart your Apache server.

   - Put the bibsched daemon back into the automatic mode.  You are
     done.

If you are upgrading from CDSware v0.7.1, then please follow the
following steps:

   - We recommend you to install CDS Invenio into another @prefix@
     directory and to use another database name, *not* CDSware's
     values.

   - Install CDS Invenio demo site to make sure that everything works
     well on your setup.  Optionally run the unit and the regression
     test suites too.

   - Drop CDS Invenio tables containing the demo site and copy your
     old CDSware tables over into the new CDS Invenio database.  (For
     example, stop your MySQL server, copy all the CDSware database
     directory files into the new CDS Invenio database directory, and
     restart your MySQL server.)

   - Run "make update-v0.7.1-tables".  This may take a while,
     depending on the number of records you had.

   - Run subsequent table update commands:  

          $ make update-v0.90.0-tables -i
          $ make update-v0.90.1-tables -i
          $ make update-v0.92.0-tables -i

     Use the "-i" option to ignore errors, as it is expected that some
     of the ALTER TABLE commands would fail due to your skipping of
     the intermediate version installation.

   - Run "python ./modules/webbasket/lib/webbasket_migration_kit.py"
     in order to migrate personal baskets.  You will be asked some
     questions.  You can choose default answers when in doubt.  The
     kit is fully automatic but it may ask you to fix some problems
     manually if it cannot resolve them automatically.

   - Rerun "webcoll".

   - Delete all waiting tasks from the bibsched queue, and resubmit
     periodical daemons anew, as indicated in the HOWTO Run guide.

   - Adapt the look and feel of the dynamic Python pages.  (See the
     WebStyle Admin Guide.)

   - Adapt the output formatter.  (See above.)

   - Put the bibsched daemon into the automatic mode.  You are done.

Further notes and issues:
-------------------------

 *) If you have been using external login method in your site, please
    note that this release brings new support for advanced external
    account and user group handling.  You may continue to use your old
    external authentication classes, but we advise you to adapt to the
    new style in order be able to fully profit from the new external
    authentication and external group features.

 *) Several modules of this release (e.g. mail submission system,
    citation ranking) are still experimental and not yet activated.
    You may have a peek at what is planned, but please do not rely on
    them.

 *) The admin-level functionality of several modules is not fully
    developed or documented yet.

What's next:
------------

 *) Improving the known issues mentioned above.  Strengthening the
    documentation towards v1.0 release.

 *) Removing submission field cookies.  Refactoring the WebSubmit
    module.

 *) Removing dependency on WML too, now that the dependency on PHP was
    removed.

 *) Deploying the new URL schema for all pages (admin, help).

Installation notes:
-------------------

Please follow the INSTALL file bundled in the distribution tarball.

Upgrade notes:
--------------

If you are upgrading from CDS Invenio v0.90.1, then please follow the
following steps:

   - Launch the bibsched monitor and wait until all active bibsched
     tasks are finished.  Then put bibsched daemon into manual mode.

   - Stop all submission procedures and other write operations: for
     example, you may want to switch your site to read-only mode (set
     CFG_ACCESS_CONTROL_LEVEL_SITE to 1 in access_control_config.py
     and restart Apache) or you may want to stop Apache completely.

   - Optionally, you may want to backup your current MySQL database
     and your CDS Invenio installation directory (@prefix@).  Note
     that this step should not be really necessary for the v0.90.1 to
     v0.92.0 upgrade, since the changes are of moderate nature only.

   - Untar new sources and rerun configure with old arguments.  Your
     old configure line is available at
     @prefix@/etc/build/config.nice.

   - Merge your old config.wml with the new one.  Your old config.wml
     file is available at @prefix@/lib/wml/invenio/config.wml.  The
     novelties in the new config.wml file are: (i) the introduction of
     the Croatian translation in the CDSNAMEINTL and CDSLANGS options;
     (ii) location of example Apache group and passwords files; (iii)
     removal of the CFG_GOOGLE_BOX variables that has now been moved
     into WebSearch Admin interface.  This means that merging should
     be relatively straightforward.

   - Run make.

   - If you have customized your @prefix/etc/ files since the last
     installation (for example to edit the stopwords list or configure
     language stemmers), then make a backup copy of them now.

   - Run make install.

   - If you have backed up your old @prefix@/etc/ directory as
     mentioned before, then restore your old files now, paying
     attention to differences with the new version.

   - Update your database table structure:

        $ make update-v0.90.1-tables

   - Optionally, update your tables with the new Croatian dynamic
     element names:

        $ grep "'hr'" modules/miscutil/sql/tabfill.sql | \
               ./modules/miscutil/bin/dbexec  

   - Decide whether you want to use the new output formatter in Python
     or still your old PHP-based formatter.  In the latter case you
     should inactivate the new formatter either by removing some (or
     all) of the BFT template files from the
     @prefix@/etc/bibformat/format_templates/ directory, or by editing
     @prefix@/lib/python/invenio/bibformat_config.py file and setting
     CFG_BIBFORMAT_USE_OLD_BIBFORMAT variable to True.

   - Optionally, run webcoll to regenerate search interface pages in
     Croatian.

   - Re-enable write access to the site if you have disabled it before
     in the previous steps and restart your Apache server.

   - If you have been using the "oaiarchive" tool to define sets
     exportable via OAI-PMH, then please reset your configurations
     anew in the new OAI Repository Admin interface.

   - Delete all waiting tasks from the bibsched queue, and resubmit
     periodical daemons anew, as indicated in the HOWTO Run guide.

   - Put the bibsched daemon back into the automatic mode.  You are
     done.

If you are upgrading from CDSware v0.7.1, then please follow the
following steps:

   - We recommend you to install CDS Invenio into another @prefix@
     directory and using another database name, *not* CDSware's
     values.

   - Install Invenio demo site to make sure that everything works well
     on your setup.  Optionally run the unit and the regression test
     suites too.

   - Drop Invenio tables with the demo site and copy old CDSware
     tables into the new Invenio database.  (For example, stop MySQL
     server, copy all the CDSware database directory into the new
     Invenio directory, and restart MySQL server.)

   - Run "make update-v0.7.1-tables".  This may take a while,
     depending on the number of records you had.

   - Run commands from "make update-v0.90.0-tables" and "make
     update-v0.90.1-tables" Makefile targets.  Please note that some
     of the ALTER TABLE commands may fail, since you are skipping
     installation of intermediate versions.  This is not harmful.

   - Run "python ./modules/webbasket/lib/webbasket_migration_kit.py"
     in order to migrate personal baskets.  You will be asked some
     questions.  You can choose default answers when in doubt.  The
     kit is fully automatic but it may ask you to fix some problems
     manually if they cannot be resolved automatically.

   - Rerun "webcoll".

   - Delete all waiting tasks from the bibsched queue, and resubmit
     periodical daemons anew, as indicated in the HOWTO Run guide.

   - Adapt the look and feel of the dynamic Python pages.  (See the
     WebStyle Admin Guide.)

   - Adapt the output formatter.  (See above.)

   - Put the bibsched daemon into the automatic mode.  You are done.

Further notes and issues:
-------------------------

 *) The old search results functionality of linking to other search
    engines under "Haven't found what you were looking for? Try your
    search on other servers:" box has been improved and integrated
    into WebSearch Admin.  In addition to pure linking to external
    sites, the CDS Invenio can now perform integrated parallel
    searching of these sites and display external search results
    alongside the usual CDS Invenio search results.  You may configure
    this behaviour in the WebSearch Admin interface.

 *) The new BibUpload in Python retains the philosophy of the old
    BibUpload in PHP and fixes some of its problems.  But you are
    advised to double-check its behaviour if you have been relying on
    some very specific old BibUpload features in your installation.

 *) Due to better MARCXML standard compatibility, the demo submission
    system now splits authors into 100 field (first author) and 700
    fields (additional authors).  The demo submissions are still to be
    improved.  In addition, the empty indicators are now treated as
    blank space instead of empty string, and the text MARC output for
    controlfields has been changed as well.  These changes should be
    transparent to your installation.  See the ChangeLog file for
    details.

 *) Several modules of the this release (e.g. mail submission system,
    citation ranking) are still experimental and not yet activated.
    You may have a peek at what is planned, but please do not rely on
    them.

 *) The admin-level functionality for several modules is not fully
    developed or documented yet.

What's next:
------------

 *) Improving the known issues mentioned above.  Strengthening the
    documentation towards v1.0 release.

 *) Removing dependency on WML too, now that the dependency on PHP was
    removed.

 *) Deploying the new URL schema for all pages (admin, help).

Upgrade notes:
--------------

If you are upgrading from CDS Invenio v0.90.0, then please follow the
following steps:

   - Launch the bibsched monitor and wait until all active bibsched
     tasks are finished.  Then put bibsched daemon into manual mode.

   - Stop all submission procedures and other write operations: for
     example, you may want to switch your site to read-only mode (set
     CFG_ACCESS_CONTROL_LEVEL_SITE to 1 in access_control_config.py
     and restart Apache) or you may want to stop Apache completely.

   - Optionally, you may want to backup your current MySQL database
     and your CDS Invenio installation directory (@prefix).  Note that
     this step is not really necessary for 0.90.0 -> 0.90.1 upgrade,
     since the changes are of minor nature only.

   - Untar new sources and rerun configure with old arguments.  Your
     old configure line is available at
     @prefix@/etc/build/config.nice.

   - Merge your old config.wml with the new one.  Your old config.wml
     file is available at @prefix@/lib/wml/invenio/config.wml.  The
     only novelty in the new config.wml file is the introduction of
     the Bulgarian translation in the CDSNAMEINTL and CDSLANGS
     options, so that merging should be straightforward.  Note that
     you may directly reuse your old config.wml file in case you do
     not plan to provide your user interface in Bulgarian.

   - Run make.

   - If you have customized your @prefix/etc/ files since the
     last installation (for example to edit the stopwords list or
     configure language stemmers), then back them up now.

   - Run make install.

   - If you have backed up your old @prefix@/etc/ directory as
     mentioned before, then restore your old etc files now.

   - Update your database table structure:

        $ make update-v0.90.0-tables

   - Optionally, update your tables with the new Bulgarian and updated
     French and Russian dynamic elements:

        $ grep "'bg'" modules/miscutil/sql/tabfill.sql | \
               ./modules/miscutil/bin/dbexec  
        $ echo "UPDATE fieldname SET value='identificateur de notice' \
                 WHERE value='notice ID' AND id_field=14 AND ln='fr';" | \

                WHERE value='' AND id_field=14 AND ln='ru';" | \
               ./modules/miscutil/bin/dbexec  

   - Optionally, run webcoll to regenerate Bulgarian, French, and
     Russian search interface pages.

   - Re-enable write access if you have disabled it before and restart
     your Apache server.

   - Put the bibsched daemon back into the automatic mode.  You are
     done.

If you want to upgrade from CDSware v0.7.1 or earlier versions, please
do not use this release for production environment yet.  The codebase
has undergone very important changes during the last year.  You can
use this release to check out the new CDS Invenio features and test it
in your environment.  Full-scale upgrade instructions and tools will
be provided with the forthcoming update release in August 2006.

Known problems:
---------------

 *) Several modules of the this release (e.g. the new BibFormat in
    Python, the mail submission system, citation ranking) are still
    experimental and not yet activated.  You may have a peek at what
    is planned, but please do not rely on them.

 *) The admin-level functionality for several modules is not fully
    developed yet.

What's next:
------------

 *) Fixing the problems mentioned above.

 *) Providing an easy-to-use upgrade path for CDSware v0.7.1 users.

 *) The next release should happen in August 2006.

Upgrade notes:
--------------

If you are upgrading from CDSware v0.7.0, then please follow the
following steps:

   - Launch the bibsched monitor and wait until all active bibsched
     tasks are finished.  Then put bibsched daemon into sleeping
     (manual) mode.

   - Stop all submission procedures and other write operations: for
     example, you may want to switch your site to read-only mode (set
     CFG_ACCESS_CONTROL_LEVEL_SITE to 1 in access_control_config.py
     and restart Apache) or you may want to stop Apache completely.

   - Optionally you may want to backup your current MySQL database and
     your CDSware installation directory.  (This step is not really
     mandatory for the 0.7.0 -> 0.7.1 transition, since the changes
     are of minor nature only.)

   - Untar new sources and rerun configure with old arguments (see
     /path/to/cdsware/lib/wml/cdsware/etc/build/config.nice).

   - Merge your old config.wml with the new one. (Your old config.wml
     can be found in /path/to/cdsware/lib/wml/cdsware/config.wml.)
     The only novelty in the new config.wml file is the introduction
     of the Catalan translation in the CDSNAMEINTL and CDSLANGS
     options, so that merging should be straightforward.  Note that
     you may directly reuse your old config.wml file in case you do
     not plan to provide your user interface in Catalan.

   - Run make.

   - If you have customized your /path/to/cdsware/etc/ files since the
     last installation (for example to edit the stopwords list or
     configure language stemmers), then back them up now.

   - Run make install.

   - If you have backed up your old /path/to/cdsware/etc/ directory as
     mentioned before, then restore your old etc files now.

   - Optionally update your tables with the new Catalan and Spanish
     field names:

        $ grep "'ca'" modules/miscutil/sql/tabfill.sql | \
               ./modules/miscutil/bin/dbexec  
        $ echo "UPDATE fieldname SET value='materia' \
                 WHERE value='' AND id_field=7 AND ln='es';" | \
               ./modules/miscutil/bin/dbexec  
        $ echo "UPDATE fieldname SET value='división' \
                WHERE value='' AND id_field=11 AND ln='es';" | \
               ./modules/miscutil/bin/dbexec  
        $ echo "UPDATE fieldname SET value='experimento' \
                WHERE value='' AND id_field=13 AND ln='es';" | \
               ./modules/miscutil/bin/dbexec  
        $ echo "UPDATE fieldname SET value='registro núm.' \
                WHERE value='' AND id_field=14 AND ln='es';" | \
               ./modules/miscutil/bin/dbexec  

   - Optionally run webcoll to regenerate Catalan and Spanish search
     interface pages.

   - Re-enable write access if you have disabled it before and restart
     your Apache server.

   - Put the bibsched daemon back into the automatic mode.  You are
     done.

Known problems:
---------------

 *) Several modules of the this release (e.g. the mail submission
    system, citation and download ranking) are experimental and not
    yet activated.  You may have a peek at what is planned, but please
    do not rely on them.

 *) The admin-level functionality for several modules is not fully
    developed yet.

 *) Fulltext file storage management is not yet linked with the
    metadata management.

What's next:
------------

 *) Fixing the problems mentioned above.

 *) Developing clearer relations and dependencies between metadata
    records and fulltext files.

 *) Introducing page templating to ease the customization of CDSware
    interface.

 *) Introducing a new tool for matching external XML MARC records
    against the database content.
