So, this update is a bit of a biggie. If you are a Mac user, the program officially moves out of the Preview and into release. If you are a Mac user, this version brings the following changes:
****************************
** 1.1.25 ChangeLog
****************************
- Bug Fix: MarcEditor — changes may not be retained after save if you make manual edits following a global updated.
- Enhancement: Delimited Text Translator completed.
- Enhancement: Export Tab Delimited complete
- Enhancement: Validate Headings Tool complete
- Enhancement: Build New Field Tool Complete
- Enhancement: Build New Field Tool added to the Task Manager
- Update: Linked Data Tool — Added Embed OCLC Work option
- Update: Linked Data Tool — Enhance pattern matching
- Update: RDA Helper — Updated for parity with the Windows Version of MarcEdit
* Update: MarcValidator — Enhancements to support better checking when looking at the mnemonic format.
If you are on the Windows/Linux version — you’ll see the following changes:
*************************************************
* 6.1.60 ChangeLog
*************************************************
- Update: Validate Headings — Updated patterns to improve the process for handling heading validation.
- Enhancement: Build New Field — Added a new global editing tool that provides a pattern-based approach to building new field data.
- Update: Added the Build New Field function to the Task Management tool.
- UI Updates: Specific to support Windows 10.
The Windows update is a significant one. A lot of work went into the Validate Headings function, which impacts the Linked Data tools and the underlying linked data engine. Additionally, the Build New Fields tool provides a new global editing function that should simplify complex edits. If I can find the time, I’ll try to mark up a youtube video demoing the process.
You can get the updates from the MarcEdit downloads page: http://marcedit.reeset.net/downloads or if you have MarcEdit configured to check automated updates — the tool will notify you of the update and provide a method for you to download it.
If you have questions — let me know.
