This release adds the 'will become compliant' messages for items that are not currently compliant, but will become so when EPrints releases the embargo on the appropriate document. This allows repository staff to see that an item is 'as good as it can be' at a point in time.
These are the main changes:
- A warning is shown to the user if an incomplete date has been entered for either the "Date of acceptance" (hoa_date_acc) or "Date of first online publication" (hoa_date_pub).
- Incomplete dates are now handled appropriately during date calculations. The "handle_possibly_incomplete_date" function calculates a date if a full date has not been specified, defaulting to the last day of the specified month, unless an optional parameter has been defined that sets the first day of the month to be used instead.
- Report screen will now indicate that a record will become compliant if it is made open access by a particular date (although the record will still show as non-compliant until it has been made open access).
