  • Add Hyku version number and license footer to Hyku Commons homepage
    #830
  • Bugfix: Banner images affecting other tenants #948 - When the crop.js tool was added to the banner image upload, a folder was created where cropped images were saved with the same filename. Any user adding a cropped banner image would have their banner image overridden by the next user to do so. This patches that behavior.
  • Add bulkrax support for Administrative Notes field #990 - Administrative notes can now be added through the importer.
  • Add Favicon to Hyku Commons homepage #829
  • Bugfix: 500 error when adding work with Location field to collection #892
