[BEXIS2-Users] BEXIS2 version 4.0.0

[bexis2-users at listserv.uni-jena.de]

Dear all,

We are happy to announce that we released *version 4.0.0* today! 
Unfortunately, it took longer than initially planned. However, we were 
able to close more than 120 tickets, mainly fixing bugs or improving the 
usability of the new functions and features since version 3.0.0., 
focusing on the *area of dataset creation and upload* introduced. While 
opening ticket number 2000, we also solved one of our older, bigger 
issues (#93) related to the editing of metadata and sessions. The full 
list of changes and fixes can be found here: 
https://github.com/BEXIS2/Core/releases/tag/4.0.0

For version 4, we started to improve and refactor our documentation. 
This process is still ongoing, and we will continue to fill in the 
missing sections as thoroughly as possible over the coming months. Since 
there are now numerous configuration parameters that can be set via the 
UI, we have added a dedicated section that summarizes all of them, 
making the initial customization process more straightforward.

You can find the current version of the documentation here: 
https://demo.bexis2.uni-jena.de/home/docs/general/ or in your updated 
instance later under help->documentation.

In the following weeks after Eastern vacation, Sven and David will 
update all instances to the new version.

Many thanks to all who contributed to the current version with 
suggestions, bug reports, documentation contributions, and finally also 
writing all the lines of code.

Your BEXIS2 team
