MarcEdit 7.5 Update Status

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
  • -tr
