Component Updates

icat.client

icat.client v6.2.0 released last week.

RK: as ICAT 7 approaches, would be good to have snapshots of icat.server 7 and also corresponding client to be able to test with

icat.server

Nothing since F2F, schema change broke search indexing code. Currently just removed invalid indexing code, but need to add indexing for new relationships.

PA: I can have a look and do the change RK: PR #294, however won't have time to work on it in the next few weeks

ids.server

D3A group found some bugs in ids.server, range header issues. Will need to do a bugfix release for this, but code hasn't been worked on yet
