Version 7.0.0.rc1

New features

• Bootstrap 4
• Rails 5.2 support
• Webpacker support
• JSON-API support
• Solr 7.2 support
• Dynamic solr schema by default
• Additive configuration #1767
• Defined properties in the SolrDocument class #1659
  If you previously had a number of methods in your SolrDocument class like this:

def title
  self['title_ssim'].first
end

You can now simplify these by replacing with:

  include Blacklight::Solr::Document
  attribute :title, Blacklight::Types::String, 'title_tesim'

Bug fixes

• if the application name isn't defined in the current language, fallback to the application_name in the default language. #1724

Upgrading

Add include Blacklight::DefaultComponentConfiguration to your catalog controller or

  configure_blacklight do |config|
    config.add_results_document_tool(:bookmark, partial: 'bookmark_control', if: :render_bookmarks_control?)

    config.add_results_collection_tool(:sort_widget)
    config.add_results_collection_tool(:per_page_widget)
    config.add_results_collection_tool(:view_type_group)

    config.add_show_tools_partial(:bookmark, partial: 'bookmark_control', if: :render_bookmarks_control?)
    config.add_show_tools_partial(:email, callback: :email_action, validator: :validate_email_params)
    config.add_show_tools_partial(:sms, if: :render_sms_action?, callback: :sms_action, validator: :validate_sms_params)
    config.add_show_tools_partial(:citation)

    config.add_nav_action(:bookmark, partial: 'blacklight/nav/bookmark', if: :render_bookmarks_control?)
    config.add_nav_action(:search_history, partial: 'blacklight/nav/search_history')
  end

If you are using Blacklight::Solr::Response directly, note that the options to the initializer have changed. Where previously it took :solr_document_model it now takes a :blacklight_config option.
