0.1.77 Released

This Monday’s release adds simple support for publishing a dataset to the rest of the world.

Publishing

• Users may now publish their datasets and make them available to the rest of the world.
• The dataset search is now public, so everyone can search the data.
• Downloading and uploading now have an explicit popup that informs the user they have to authenticate to perform these actions.

Search index fixes

• The search indexes now filter properly by publishing. The API also supports filtering by user, though the UI doesn’t expose it yet.

Upcoming features

Next on the docket is adding multidimensional search dimensions, which are easier to understand as “tags”. The team is also working on a new search user interface that lets the product expose all these filters. The team tracks that effort independently and it’s likely to take a little longer.
