Changes in 3.4 include<\/h3>\n

Slimmer core code<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Publication repository specific code has been moved out of the core, and into its own \u2018flavour\u2019.
\nThis leaves the core smaller and more maintainable, as well as no longer being as biased to a traditional publications repositories.<\/p>\n

Flavour support<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Each EPrints repository is now a particular \u2018flavour\u2019.
\nHaving moved the publications specifics into its own package, when a new repository is created, one of the installed flavours is specified. This can initially be \u2018publication\u2019 or \u2018zero\u2019, where zero is the minimal set up for creating a simple repository.
\nOther flavours have been created, based on zero. Such as research data, open education, research impact.<\/p>\n

Ingredient support<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Similar to flavours in structure, an ingredient is an installable library of code which represents a useful and reusable feature. For example bazaar support, which some but not all flavours will need.
\nThese ingredients are specified at a flavour level. The publication flavour naturally uses the bazaar ingredient, but zero does not.<\/p>\n
