GNU EPRINTS Version 2.1 Released 4th July, 2002
***********************************************************
GNU EPrints 2.1 Released.
EPrints 2 is free software which creates web based
archives, containing documents and metadata.
News and Major New Features:
* EP2.1 has OAI 2.0 support (and still supports OAI 1.1).
See
http://www.openarchives.org/ for more information.
* Subscription service. This allows registered users to
store one or more searches. Every day/week/month the
user will be emailed any new or changed records which
match their search.
* Name changed to "GNU EPrints" as we have joined the GNU
project. See
http://www.eprints.org/gnu.php for more in
depth explanation.
* open.ac.uk has provided us with a service which makes it
easy to create a discussion forum for each record in
your archive. A "how-to" in the documentation explains
how to take advantage of this.
* There has been some interest from a UK company in
providing a pay service to assist installing and maybe
hosting archives. Whatever happens we still plan to
develop and support the GPL version.
