Omeka 1.5 was released on February 7, 2012.

New Features

  • Internationalization: Users can now choose a language and locale to display the interface in. This affects the displayed text and formatting of other data like system-generated dates.
  • Media Extension Awareness: File extensions are now used as a fallback to determine how files should be displayed if the MIME type is incorrect or not detected.
  • File Ordering: Users can now reorder files within an item without re-uploading.

  • Item Type controller shows a “has encountered an error” page instead of a flash error (#70)
  • “Uninstall” button is enabled for plugins that need to be upgraded (#82)
  • “Add User” form lets you pick Active/Inactive (#89)
  • Retry when HTTP errors occur for S3 (#94)
