The GeoBlacklight Community collaborates on a 2-week sprint every Winter and Summer. Participation in the sprint is open to anyone and can include coding new features, fixing bugs, writing documentation, troubleshooting issues, and more.
Our Summer Community Sprint concluded in August 2020 and resulted in a new version of GeoBlacklight! Version 3 brings us the long awaited multiple downloads option, support for Rails 6, and many improvements for accessibility.
Developers from Princeton, NYU, Cornell, and the University of Minnesota participated in a two-week GeoBlacklight Winter Codesprint that resulted in a major new version, GeoBlacklight 2.0. This version is compatible with the latest release of the underlying framework, Blacklight 7, which itself includes several significant component upgrades for Bootstrap 4 and Rails 5.2 support. Visit the GeoBlacklight 2.0 Upgrade Guide for more information.
The GeoBlacklight Community Summer 2018 Code has resulted in a new release (1.9.0) that includes compatibility with Blacklight 7 and numerous other upgrades.
The GeoBlacklight Community Winter Code has resulted in a new release (1.8.0) that includes a new feature for index maps, bug fixes, and improved metadata documentation.
The second annual GeoBlacklight Community Code has concluded and a new version (1.6.0) has been released with improved views for standards-based metadata files along with several bug fixes.
