FAIR Release Notes: 2.0

First released: 6th December 2023

Summary

This release contains one major enhancement, a change to the user interface for data access requests.

Full details of the change can be found in the DRE Knowledge Base, but in summary:

  • DAR process now launches in a tab, not a modal
  • Following user feedback, selection of a destination workspace is now part of the first step
  • The requester is notified of any previous transfers of the same dataset to their available workspaces

This release also continues the evolution of the Dataset Conditions feature, where a condition is applied to dataset, this will now be visible to users when browsing datasets.

This is the last scheduled FAIR release of the year, the next release to production will be on 3 January 2024

This release note was updated on 5 December to included details of a subsequent patch release FAIR 2.0.1 which made changes to the FAIR audit log to make the log creation process more efficient and robust
