Lagotto 5.0.1

Lagotto 5.0.1 (April 12, 2016)

Lagotto 5.0.1 was released on April 12, 2016. This release includes breaking changes, users of Lagotto 4.x should wait for Lagotto 5.2, which will provide an upgrade path for 4.x users.

The following changes were made:

Agents/Sources

In Lagotto 5.0 the functionality of sources is broken into two different models:

• agents collect information from external APIs
• sources provide this information via the Lagotto API

One consequence of this split of functionality is that agents can now be external to the Lagotto application.

Another consequence is that agents no longer need to do API calls for every single work, but can import data in bulk. This dramatically improves performance.

Deposits

The new deposits API provides a common way to import data into Lagotto from external APIs. Import of data via rake task, as in previous Lagotto versions, is no longer supported in Lagotto 5.0. The deposits API is also used by the built-in Lagotto agents.

The deposits API is generic enough to allow not only the import of works, but also publishers and contrbutors.
