From bexis2-users at listserv.uni-jena.de Mon Dec 1 09:50:52 2025 From: bexis2-users at listserv.uni-jena.de (bexis2-users at listserv.uni-jena.de) Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 09:50:52 +0100 Subject: [BEXIS2-Users] BEXIS2 version 4.2 Message-ID: Dear all, last week we released version 4.2 . This version holds several UX/UI improvements, bug fixes and enhancements related to dataset creation and upload and a revised download. For example single file downloads without metadata are no longer allowed without edit permissions to be compliant to FAIR. The content of the download archive also have been extended and refactored. During data structure creation you can now also enable to check, if at least required DWC terms are assigned as meanings (shows as warning, which is not blocking). Further our new curation tool has been added for testing. If you are interested to test, please contact me. We are also already working on version 4.3., which will introduce a new concept on how datasets as extension can relate and work together.
