Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
Fix a timeout issue when updating a VCard, Partner or Taxonomy term, and when the site has many nodes. When a referenced entity is updated, a published node hash is recomputed. If the site has hundreds of nodes, and all are affected, this can lead to timeouts. Instead, queue all nodes for re-hashing, and use the Queue API to re-hash them.
"View on portal" links wouldn't encode the LOM ID, resulting in incorrect links if older descriptions were imported. Old descriptions used '#' symbols in their ID, which have to be encoded in a URL to work.
This release requires PHP 5.6 or higher! The dependencies have also changed! Make sure to read the README.txt file, or run composer update if using Composer Manager.
Fix invalid PER data. When removing PER curricula information, the data would contain "orphans". This has been fixed. When updating, all descriptions that contain PER data will be flagged for re-publishing.
First alpha release for Archibald 3.0. Archibald 3.x introduces major changes, including (but not limited to) better usage of the Drupal API, Nodes for LOM-CH content, custom entities for VCards and Partner data, Views for administration pages, etc.
Archibald 3.x will also be compatible with the upcoming LOM-CHv1.2, which will provide a much better framework for working with curricula data.
Archibald 3.x has many dependencies (instead of re-inventing the wheel, as in 2.x). Please refer to the README.txt file for more information.
