TeSS 1.3

Changes

Redesign

The main feature of this release is a redesign of the TeSS UI. As well as refreshing the look of TeSS, many of the view templates and CSS files have been revamped to make TeSS easier to style. Thanks to Xènia Pérez Sitjà and Ivan Kuzmin for the majority of this work.

User-managed ingestion sources

Content provider owners can now register "Sources" of content for TeSS to scrape. A source is created by providing a URL and scraping method (initially only Bioschemas is supported). Sources can be tested by the user by performing a "dry run", which scrapes the source and shows a preview of events and/or materials that were found, without actually registering them in TeSS. The user can then submit a request to the administrators for the source to be "enabled", in which case it will be run once per day, and scraped content will be registered in TeSS.

Collection curation

A new curation feature was added to collections, allowing TeSS curators to quickly and easily mass-assign events and materials to a collection. Thanks to Daan van Vugt for contributing this feature, and numerous other changes in this release.

Widget improvements

TeSS' embeddable widgets (ElixirTeSS/TeSS_widgets) have been updated to improve their appearance on mobile devices (and other small screens).
