Release Date: Sun, December 21, 2014 at 9:33 PM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz
This release provides work from rcross@amsl.com which refactors and enhances
the IPR support in the datatracker. Here is an overview of the changes:
-
Updated and streamlined the database models representing IPR disclosures,
and migrated existing data to the new models. -
Added a new admin interface with better support for listing IPR
disclosures and searching them. -
Improved the Secretariat's navigation between IPR document views/search
results and the administrative pages to edit IPR documents. -
Introduced the ability for a disclosure submission to indicate it is
updating more than one existing disclosure. -
Improved the Secretariat's management interface for the 'Waiting for
Approval' queue, and added the ability to park disclosures that are
waiting for approval. -
Added a Secretariat management interface for rejected and removed
disclosures. -
Implemented simplified forms for Secretariat updates to a disclosure.
-
Added support for managing the email communication necessary for
processing a submission.
The streamlined models and related coding decisions has resulted in a
reduction in the LOC (lines of code) count by about 2000 lines, at
the same time as the functionality has improved. Cool :-)
