v2.8.0

Description

Welcome to the 2.8.0 release of GeoNetwork-UI!

This release brings forth many new features and improvements. The project as a whole has been migrated to Angular 20. There was some improvement work on SEO, eco-index and the mobile version of the Datahub. The documents will now be properly supported by the classification system as dataset or reuse. And last but not least, datasets with online resources detected as STAC Items will now offer a preview of said items.

Our main contributors on this release are Métropole Européenne de Lille, INRAE, Département de l'Isère, DataGrandEst, GeoRhena and Géo2France.

To be noted: the npm package for 2.8.0 is available, but not tagged as latest due to some limitations in recent updates on NPM tokens usage. You can still install geonetwork-ui@2.8.0, but geonetwork-ui@latest will point to an older version until this is fixed.

Breaking change

The Datahub now supports online resources of type XML. It was previously supporting only GML. As the two formats are not always clearly distinct (GeoServer will serve GML with a mime-type as XML for example), some resources previously displayed as GML might now be displayed as XML.

New translation keys

There are many new translations keys in this release. You can find the exact list when browsing to the changelog and searching en.json.
