Embedding of Pure inside iframes on other domains
From 5.8, in order to prevent prevent Clickjacking, Pure can only be embedded in iframes running on the same domain as the Pure instance. For certain Intranet use cases, this new restriction may prevent access to Pure. If so, please contact Pure support via JIRA for a work-around.
Previously announced changes that affect Pure 5.8
Deprecation / End of support for DSpace 1.8.x or earlier from version 5.6 and forward
Since Pure 5.6.0 (released June 2016), support for DSpace 1.8.x and earlier has been deprecated. The functionality still works and will be supported, but customers are strongly advised to migrate to more recent versions of DSpace. All new customers will need a more recent DSpace version.
From version 5.8/4.27 of Pure (February 2017), Pure will no longer support and bug fix the integration to DSpace versions 1.8.x or earlier.
Our decision to do this is to better align with the versions that are supported from the DSpace community as well as keeping the number of supported releases we need to test and maintain at a reasonable level.
The DSpace Committers Group officially ended support of 1.8.x as of January 2015 (see https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Releases for details, and https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Software+Support+Policy for the groups established support policy).
In future versions of Pure, we will support integration to DSpace versions two years after the DSpace Committers Group end their support, which should provide sufficient time to plan and execute an upgrade of DSpace. For example, support for DSpace 3.x integrations in Pure will end in February 2018.
For customers wishing to migrate to more recent releases of DSpace, please check https://pure.helpjuice.com/en_US/pure-core/supported-platforms for supported versions. Since Pure release 5.6, support for DSpace 5.x has been added.
See the End of Support Announcements for Pure page for all end of support announcements.
