MarcEdit Update

Update was posted Feb. 27 to all versions.  Update Contains the following changes:

6.2.85

  • Enhancement: Characterset Detection: MarcEdit is including a tool that will provide a heuristical analysis of a file to provide best guess characterset detection. (https://blog.reeset.net/archives/1897)
  • Enhancement: Build New Tool Function: Adding a find macro to the function so that users can now identify specific fields when building new fields from data in a MARC record. (https://blog.reeset.net/archives/1902)
  • Update: Build Links — improved handling of MESH data ** Update: Build Links — improved handling of AAT data
  • Update: Build Links — improved handling of ULAN data
  • Update: Build Links — added work around to character escaping issues found in .NET 4.0. Issue impacts URIs with trailing periods and slashes (/). Apparently, the URI encoding tool doesn’t escape them properly because of how Windows handles file paths.
  • Update: Build Links — Rules file updated to include refined definitions for the 6xx fields.
  • Update: MarcEdit Command-Line: program updated to include new build links functional updates
  • Update: COM object: Updated character encoding switching to simplify streaming functions.
  • Update: Validate Headings: Integrated rules file into checking.
  • Bug Fix: Validate Headings: headings validation was being tripped by the URI escaping issue in .NET 4.0. This has been corrected.
  • Update: RDA Helper: Finished code refinements
  • Update: Build Links — tool is now asynchronous
  • Enhancement: Build Links — Users can now select and build their own rules files
  • Enhancement: Build Links — Tool now includes a function that will track resolution speed from linked services and attempt to provide notification when services are performing poorly. First version won’t identify particular services — just that data isn’t being processed in a timely manner.
  • Bug Fix: Character Conversion — UTF-8 to MARC-8, the {dollar} literal isn’t being converted back to a literal dollar sign. This is related to removing the fall back entity checking in the last update. This has been corrected.

Updates can be picked up through the automated update tools in MarcEdit or via the downloads page: http://marcedit.reeset.net/downloads
