Greenstone 2.71

GLI:
-----
- new Format panel, containing all options relating to collection formatting.
These options don't require a rebuild to take effect. Preview Collection
button now also on this Format panel.
- default indexer for new collections is MGPP
- searchtypes now a format statement instead of a design option.
- new Macros section on Format panel - can edit collection's extra.dm directly.
- redesign of Search Indexes section of Design panel.
- Search indexes now displays options for stem, casefolding and accentfolding
(MG and MGPP only). If selected, the appropriate index will be built.
Search preferences for these options will depend on the appropriate index
being built.
- new Search section in Format panel: can edit display text for search form
drop down lists (indexes, subcollections, levels etc)
- metadata set management now on Enrich panel (Manage Metadata Sets button).
- New collections default to using the Dublin Core metadata set, and no set
prompt is given. This can be changed from the Enrich panel.
- updated help text
- now restarts itself if a new language is selected.
- plugins.dat and classifiers.dat no longer used. Plugin and Classifier
information is dynamically loaded when needed.

GEMS:
-----------
- reimplementation to make a simpler interface
- only one set is now open at a time
- A predefined set of attributes for set/element is provided
- Is launched from GLI to create a new metadata set or edit an existing one

Collection Exporting:
------------------------
- File->Export in GLI. Now supports exporting as Greenstone Archive (GA),
DSpace batch import, Greenstone METS, and MARCXML formats.
- All export types support the use of XSLT to transform resulting XML files.
For example, could export to GA format, then transform to a custom format
using an XSLT file

Export to CDROM:
------------------
- now has a -noinstall option, so that the resulting CDROM doesn't install
anything onto the host computer

MGPP:
------
- maxnumeric support added
- query term truncation (e.g. comput*) with casefolding fixed for non-ascii
query terms
- accent folding support added (thanks to Juan Grigera): Generates a
new index which folds accents, in the same way that case folding
works. Accent folding means that é will match e, and vice versa.
This is turned on by the user via the preferences page.
- Mongolian unicode support
