<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>we are happy to inform you that we added several new cool
features to BEXIS2, improved several pages, fixed bugs, and also
took care of maintenance and security issues. Once the new
features are stable, we plan to release version 4.0.0.</p>
<p>One of the new features is the <b>support of versioning</b> and
assigning tags (major/minor versions) to your datasets. With this
feature, you can hide all the interim versions from other users,
assigning tags as a reference, e.g., for a DOI, or hide
versions/datasets from the search. Currently, this can be done by
all users who have edit permission for a dataset. In the future,
there will also be an optional workflow attached to it to include
data curators for approval.<br>
</p>
<p>It has been requested for a very long time, but with our new
mapping functions, we are now also able to support bioschemas /<b>schema.org
</b>on public datasets pages.</p>
<p>The full list can be found here: <a

<p><b>Big thanks again for all contributed feedback during the last
weeks! </b><br>
</p>

</p>
<p>Your BEXIS2 team</p>
