The Max Planck Digital Library is happy to announce the release of the latest version of the open source repository software eSciDoc.PubMan.

The new version is available for download here:

http://pubman.mpdl.mpg.de/software/get_pubman/download.html

In the course of the release we have further adopted the PubMan installer. Furthermore, you will find an updated version of the detailed installation instructions (English and German) at the download page.

You can try out and test the PubMan functionalities on our test server (test-pubman.mpdl.mpg.de/pubman - login & password: "demo").

It's been a while since our latest open source release - so there's a set of new features included in PubMan 7.8. The main points are:

• New application server: Wildfly
• Upgrade to JSF 2.2
• A new "Administrative Search" for logged-in users allows searches for contexts or items in status "pending" or "submitted"
• The most important information for each publication are clearly arranged on a separate overview page

...and many more smaller but helpful improvements.

Finally, we would like to draw your attention to this mailing list:
https://listserv.gwdg.de/mailman/listinfo/escidoc-dev-ext
This list is forum for all technical questions and problems regarding the installation of eSciDoc and PubMan.

If you have any functional questions regarding the usage of a PubMan repository or you would like to stay up-to-date with the PubMan development, this mailing list may also be interesting for you:
https:/listserv.gwdg.de/mailman/listinfo/pubman-users-ext

The PubMan Team is in charge of both of the lists - so if you have any questions or you need some help, please do not hesistate to contact us.

The Max Planck Digital Library hopes you will enjoy this new release.
