v1.4.0

Version 1.4 makes a move from HVAD to ModelTranslations as well as some bugfixes and improvements.

ModelTranslations

Janeway now uses ModelTranslations to store translated settings and metadata. The setting USE_I18N must be set to True in settings.py otherwise settings may not be returned properly.

Each journal can also select a subset of the supported languages and pick a default.

1.4 has support for:

• News
• Pages
• Navigation
• Sections
• Editorial Groups
• Contacts
• Journals
• Article (limited to Editors only, title and abstract)

Support for Welsh (Cymraeg) is included. Support for German, French, Spanish and Italian is coming soon.

General

• The backend has been updated to use the Open Sans font.
• The default theme has been removed from core and now has its own repo (#1895)

• A new setting has been added to allow editors to hide Review metadata from authors including the Reviewer decision (#2391)

Manager

Many areas of the Manager have been reworked. We now have a better grouping of settings and additional groupings. Reworked:

• Journal Settings
• Image Settings (new)
• Article Display Settings
• Styling Settings

Other areas have been redesigned:

• The Review and Revision reminders interface has been reworked to make it easier to use. A new reminder type (accepted) so you can have different templates for reminder unaccepted and accepted reviews. (#2370)

Plugins

• A new hook has been added to the CSS block of all themes (#2385)

API

• A KBART API endpoint has been added [url]/api/kbart (#2035)

Feature Removal

The ZIP Issue Download feature has been removed, this is due to the fact that in its current form it does not work and is regularly hit by spiders and bots that cause disk space to fill up. The hope is that we can work out a way to bring this back in the future. The Issue Galley feature remains active. (#2504)

Deprecations
