I’m planning to start making testing versions of the new MarcEdit instance available around the first of the year broadly, to a handful of testers in mid-Dec. The translation from .NET 4.7.2 to .NET 5 was more significant than I would have thought – and includes a number of swapped default values – so hunting down behavior changes. Currently, the follow updates have been completed.
- Framework used: .NET 5.0
- RDA Helper: 100$e process modified. Added criteria to $e generation. Previously, if a $e is already present, an new $e wasn’t added. Now, if a $e or $4 is present, a $e won’t be generated.
- RDA Helper: Changes related to RDA updates
- Added new elements to the new window programs for pinning
- XML Editor: Delete Block element added
- XML Editor: XQuery processing option
- If a set of records include bibliographic and authority records, the RDA helper will skip the authority records
- Updated Installation Wizard (allows migration of 6.x and 7.x content into the tool)
- Updating OCLC Integration to use new Metadata API Search
- Delimited Text Translator — added ability to use custom mnemonic replacements
- Delimited Text Translator — no longer a stand alone program
- App part of main marcedit app
- Command line options folded into marcedit app
- [in process] linked data rules file version 2
- Enhancements to the rules file schema
