The main changes impacting developers and system administrators are detailed below.

Classification search

The Solr search feature now supports searching for classifications. To add classifications to the search index, all indexable corpora must be reindexed with the arkindex reindex --all command.

The Solr search feature is disabled by default. The reindexation is only necessary if this feature has been enabled in the backend configuration through the features.search feature flag.

Configurable sender e-mail address

A new email.from_address option has been added to the backend configuration. This allows Arkindex to use some SMTP servers where the authentication credentials do not match the e-mail address used in the From header.

When it is set, it will be used as the sender address for all e-mails sent by Arkindex. Otherwise, the value of email.user will be used instead, which was the behavior in previous versions.
