[basedb-devel] BASE 3.5-beta-1 has been released

[Nicklas N. <nic...@me...>]

Hello all,

We have released BASE 3.5-beta-1 today. This is a new major release that 
is focusing on new features for filtering and annotations. Among other 
things:

  * It is possible to filter with OR logic in tables
  * Batch inhering annotations
  * Filtering on inherited annotation in tables
  * New 'item list' feature that makes it possible for complex
    filtering on parent/child relationships

A side-effect is that BASE 3.5 is not fully binary compatible with 
earlier releases. Custom extensions or plug-ins that use the 
'Biomaterial list API' are affected. See 
http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/3.5-beta/html/appendix/incompatible.html 
for more information.

For a complete list of changes, see:

Upgrading follows the usual procedure:

We recommend to use this version for testing only. Do not use on 
production servers!
