v1.8-0.2.0

For the time being, a VERSION file has been added at the root of the repository.

In this version, a load_chants function has been added to all Manuscript objects, which can be triggered through the admin interface (without interacting with the backend).

v1.8-0.1.0

I decided to use a new naming scheme for the name of the Cantus Ultimus releases.

The first portion of the version (before the dash) is the current django version for the release. As the version of django delimits a lot of the behavior/organization/capabilities/security concerns of the application, I considered it to be an essential part of the versioning scheme for Cantus Ultimus.

The second portion of the version (after the dash) is the semantic versioning of the release.

Specific to this release:

• The process for mapping a new manuscript has been simplified. Users no longer need to enter a file within data_dumps, a IIIF Manifest, or a manuscript_id. The IIIF Manifest is should be entered in the admin view of a manuscript before mapping. The data_dumps and manuscript_id are fetched automatically.
• The provisioning scripts for pymei have been removed. When needed, a new pymei workflow will be written for newer MEI files.

Playback button added

• A playback button added for chants with volpiano annotations
• Working container
• Legacy code intact

This is the last commit of the website with the old codebase intact.

From now on, we are embarking on a migration of the website to django>=3.x and a new workflow for the addition of manuscripts.
