Orcid web service update to v1.2
Affected Bases: all

If continued usage of Orcid is wanted after April 1st, it is necessary to switch to this pure version (5.2.1/4.21.1 or later).

Person current web service semantic changed for active persons
Affected Bases: All
Roles affected: Users of the web service
Feature purpose: To make the WS consistent and configurable to the users need
Feature description:
The same changes has been made for both the WSDL and the REST call to the web service.
When limiting to "active" persons in the web service you previously only got those persons who have an active organisation association to an active organisation
This was done with ws/rest/person.current?state=active
When state is set to inactive only persons who does not have an active organisation association is returned, i.e. it is not possible to get persons with an active organisation association to an inactive orgnisation using the state parameter.
This limit has therefore been removed, and instead seperated into a seperate parameter, so the following request will return the same as before:
ws/rest/person.current?state=active&onlyActiveOrganisations=true
This provides more flexibility to the users of the web service so they can determine whether they want to have persons with active organisation association to an inactive organisation or not.
Futhermore the state parameter has been expanded to also include the options for "future" and "former" to limit to persons who only have future or former organiation associations.
Web service has been fixed for publications and activities
Affected Bases: All
Roles affected: Persons using the web-service
Feature purpose: The web-service did not work for some customers in 5.2.0 release due to the upgrade to Tomcat 8
Feature description:
The web-service is now able to provide proper response to all requests to publications and activities, which where affected by this problem with Tomcat 8.
The webservice call and response xml should be unchanged due to this bugfix.
