DCOR-Aid 0.19.0

DCOR-Aid 0.19.0 focuses on the user interface. I added various buttons and dialogs to manage datasets and collections, added a preview option for manual dataset uploads, and fixed a bug that broke the upload and download job list when items were removed. I fixed several other bugs and improved the responsiveness of the UI. DCOR-Aid also has a new logo now.

DCOR-Aid 0.18.2

Most work has gone into refreshing the user interface. I added a local database cache, which means searching for datasets is now much faster. Local database upgrades are incremental which means that initial database creation may take some time (depending on network and CPU speed). I removed the non-functional "Sharing" tab. In the future I plan to incorporate sharing-related functionalities in the "My Data" tab. A few minor glitches have also been fixed.

DCOR-Aid 0.17.3 is a bugfix release. Drag'n'drop to DCscope/Shape-Out was fixed and long resource names are now handled more elegantly. If you are working with dcoraid-task files, you can now specify collections to which datasets should be added.
