Unreleased

Fixed

  • Fixed regex so we don't run the invalid multi-value separator fix on dcterms.bibliographicCitation fields
  • Fixed regex so we run the comma space fix on dcterms.bibliographicCitation fields
  • Don't crash the country/region checker/fixer when a title field is missing

Changed

Updated

[0.6.1] - 2023-02-23

Fixed

  • Missing region check should ignore subregion field, if it exists

Changed

  • Use SPDX license data from SPDX themselves instead of spdx-license-list because it is deprecated and outdated
  • Require Python 3.9+
  • Don't run fix.separators() on title or abstract fields
  • Don't run whitespace or newline fixes on abstract fields
  • Ignore some common non-SPDX licenses
  • Ignore __description suffix in filenames meant for SAFBuilder when checking for uncommon file extensions

Updated

  • Python dependencies

[0.6.0] - 2022-09-02

Changed

  • Perform fix for "unnecessary" Unicode characters after we try to fix encoding issues with ftfy
  • ftfy heuristics to use is_bad() instead of sequence_weirdness()
  • ftfy fix_text() to not change “smart quotes” to "ASCII quotes"

Updated

  • Python dependencies
  • Metadatata field exclude logic

Added

  • Ability to drop invalid AGROVOC values with -d when checking AGROVOC values with -a <field.name>
  • Ability to add missing UN M.49 regions when both country and region columns are present. Enable with -u (unsafe fixes) for now.

Removed

  • Support for reading Excel files (both .xls and .xlsx) as it was completely untested

[0.5.0] - 2021-12-08

Added

  • Ability to check for, and fix, "mojibake" characters using ftfy
  • Ability to check if the item's title exists in the citation
  • Ability to check if an item has countries, but no matching regions (only suggests missing regions if there is a region field in the CSV)

Updated

  • Python dependencies

Fixed

  • Regular expression to match all citation fields (dc.identifier.citation as well as dcterms.bibliographicCitation) in experimental.correct_language()
  • Regular expression to match dc.title and dcterms.title, but ignore dc.title.alternative check.duplicate_items()
  • Missing field name in fix.newlines() output

[0.4.7] - 2021-03-17

Changed

  • Fixing invalid multi-value separators like | and ||| is no longer class- ified as "unsafe" as I have yet to see a case where this was intentional
  • Not user visible, but now checks only print a warning to the screen instead of returning a value and re-writing the DataFrame, which should be faster and use less memory

Added

  • Configurable directory for AGROVOC requests cache (to allow running the web version from Google App Engine where we can only write to /tmp)
  • Ability to check for duplicate items in the data set (uses a combination of the title, type, and date issued to determine uniqueness)

Removed

  • Checks for invalid and unnecessary multi-value separators because now I fix them whenever I see them, so there is no need to have checks for them

Updated

  • Run poetry update to update project dependencies

[0.4.6] - 2021-03-11

Added

  • Validation of dcterms.license field against SPDX license identifiers

Changed

  • Use DCTERMS fields where possible in data/test.csv

Updated

  • Run poetry update to update project dependencies

Fixed

  • Output for all fixes should be green, because it is good

[0.4.5] - 2021-03-04

Added

  • Check dates in dcterms.issued field as well, not just fields that have the word "date" in them

Updated

  • Run poetry update to update project dependencies

[0.4.4] - 2021-02-21

Added

  • Accept dates formatted in ISO 8601 extended with combined date and time, for example: 2020-08-31T11:04:56Z
  • Colorized output: red for errors, yellow for warnings and information, green for changes

Updated

  • Run poetry update to update project dependencies

[0.4.3] - 2021-01-26

Changed

  • Reformat with black
  • Requires Python 3.7+ for pandas 1.2.0

Updated
