#1145 Use Blacklight.logger in non-controller contexts
#1146 Check for Java 1.7+ when starting Jetty
#1147 Blacklight::Facet should support looking up field configuration by both blacklight key and solr facet name

HTML improvements

#1137 Add current view name as a class on the #documents container
#1139 On the index page, the document title should take the full width if no document actions are present
#1144 Add a better out-of-the-box home_text partial with next steps
#1148 Add semantic classes to <h1>...<h6> fields.

Upgrade Guide

In Blacklight 6.x, we intend to re-order the <h1>...<h6> fields to meet accessibility best practices. In #1148, we introduced semantic classes for the elements we intend to change. If your application has overridden the Blacklight styles using the <h1>...<h6> names, you should begin converting them to use semantic classes instead.

Blacklight 5.10.0

Commit History | Milestone

Refactoring

In Blacklight 5.9, we added functionality to begin supporting search backends other than Solr. In recognition of this work, we’ve started pulling out hard-coded references to Solr where generic or Blacklight-specific terms may be more appropriate, and leaving deprecation warnings in the place of old methods and functionality. The deprecated behavior will be removed in Blacklight 6.x. Below is a table showing examples of the renaming effort:

Blacklight 5.x	Blacklight 5.10
Blacklight::SolrHelper	Blacklight::SearchHelper
solr_repository	repository
get_search_results	search_results
blacklight_solr	connection
solr_search_params_logic	search_params_logic
Blacklight::Configuration#solr_document_model	Blacklight::Configuration#document_model
Blacklight::Configuration#solr_response_model	Blacklight::Configuration#response_model
Blacklight::Exceptions::InvalidSolrID	Blacklight::Exceptions::RecordNotFound
Blacklight::Configuration::SolrField	Blacklight::Configuration::Field`
Blacklight::Document#solr_response	Blacklight::Document#response
SearchHelper#get_solr_response_for_doc_id	SearchHelper#fetch
SearchHelper#get_solr_response_for_document_ids	SearchHelper#fetch
rake blacklight:solr:seed	rake blacklight:index:seed
config/solr.yml	config/blacklight.yml

Additional work went into creating generic versions of solr functionality, including

• The configuration file config/solr.yml has been renamed config/blacklight.yml and the structure of the file has changed slightly to include an adapter element.
• Extracted Blacklight::SearchBuilder from Blacklight::SearchHelper (was Blacklight::SolrHelper)
• Extract Blacklight::AbstractRepository from Blacklight::SolrRepository
• Extract Blacklight::Document from Blacklight::Solr::Document
• Wrap access to RSolr in a Blacklight::SolrRepository instead of providing direct access to RSolr

We've also changed the behavior of CatalogController.search_params_logic (was .solr_search_params_logic), which defined the translation between Rails' URL parameters and the Solr request parameters. This used to call methods directly on the controller. As of Blacklight 5.10, we've added a Blacklight::SearchBuilder class to contain those methods.

Features

• Add document_presenter_class, repository_class, and search_builder_class to the blacklight configuration. This configuration was previously connected with the controller.
• #1115 Blacklight's index, show and facet fields should support internal keys that may be different from the field name
• #1125 Change the link for facet pagination to include the name of the facet for screen readers (e.g. more >> to more locations >>)

Bug Fixes

• #1082 Bookmarks should use the same id constraints as the primary resource
• #1061 Class references in the Blacklight configuration should not be deep-duped.
• #1098 Only use the user's stored view preference if it is available
• #1127 Fix indenting for the remove icon for pivot facets (@wlayton)
• #1126 Use more granular RSolr.solr_escape to escape facet values

Development tools

• Extract granular generators for controllers and models from the blacklight:install generator.
• Extract additional_export_formats method from catalog#show

Upgrade Guide

After updating to Blacklight 5.10, you should expect to see many deprecation warnings. Most of them can be resolved by following the directions given in the deprecation message.
