Version 3.3.0 ============= *Released 2020-05-18* We are proud to announce the release of Invenio v3.3.0. **Python compatibility** Invenio v3.3 supports Python versions 3.6 and 3.7. Python 2 support in Invenio ended on January 1st, 2020 with the official end of life for Python 2 on the same date. Getting started --------------- See our :ref:`quickstart` guide. Upgrading to v3.3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To upgrade your Invenio instance to v3.3 follow the upgrading guide: :ref:`upgrade-3_2-3_3` What's new in Invenio v3.3? --------------------------- Python 3.7 ~~~~~~~~~~ Python 3.7 is now supported by Invenio! Improved support for Single Page Applications ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Invenio v3.3 improves the support for Single Page Applications (SPA) by adding REST APIs for account management operations such as login, logout, user registration, password change, email confirmation and more. The integrated OAuth client also adds a new REST API so that you can login via your OAuth providers such as GitHub, ORCID and Globus. CSRF Protection ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Invenio-REST adds a CSRF middleware, called `CSRFProtectMiddlewate` to protect API views against CSRF attacks. The CSRF checks can be skipped in REST API calls when using a personal OAuth API token. Dependency management ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We have revamped management of third-party dependencies. New releases of some of the many third-party packages Invenio depends on could often cause dependency conflicts. Invenio v3.3 introduces the concept of coordinator packages, who are responsible for properly specifying third-party dependencies. Here's a table of all the current coordinator modules: =================== ================================================================================================================== Module Dependencies =================== ================================================================================================================== `invenio-base` `Flask`, `werkzeug`, `six`, `blinker` `invenio-accounts` `Flask-Security`, `Flask-KVSession`, `Flask-Login` `invenio-admin` `Flask-Admin` `invenio-celery` `celery`, `kombu`, `msgpack` `invenio-rest` `webargs`, `marshmallow` `invenio-i18n` `Flask-BabelEx` `invenio-db` `Flask-SQLAlchemy`, `Flask-Alembic`, `SQLAlchemy`, `SQLAlchemy-Continuum`, `SQLAlchemy-Utils`, `psycopg2`, `pymysql` `invenio-search` `elasticsearch`, `elasticsearch-dsl` `pytest-invenio` `pytest`, `coverage`, `isort`, `check-manifest` =================== ================================================================================================================== Minor changes in v3.3 --------------------- - Invenio-Access: adds `explicit excludes`.
