A complete feature list will be available on the User Support Center Web page when the software is released. Some enhancements in the new version are detailed below:

• Compound objects queued in the Multiple Compound Object Add List are now persistent allowing users to close the Multiple Compound Object Wizard without losing items waiting for upload. Additionally, new error recovery features in the Multiple Compound Object Wizard will let users complete a compound object build if an error interrupts the process.
• For users working with the OCR Extension, CONTENTdm 4.2 has upgraded OCR capabilities. These include an upgrade to ABBYY FineReader Version 8, support for 36 languages and dialects, warnings when images exceed standard A4 paper size and the ability to OCR items that have previously been added to CONTENTdm collections.
• For users who have collections with searchable date data type fields, a date range search is available from the Advanced Search page.
• An option to configure search parameters for automatic hyperlinks in metadata is now available. Search parameters can be set to search all collections or only the current collection as well as all fields or only the current field. Additionally, a new configuration option allows you to display or suppress zoom and pan functionality by image file type.
• Changes in the Compound Object viewer provide additional options for viewing documents. These include an option to toggle the left-hand navigation menu on and off when viewing items, a new location for the navigational thumbnail image in order to provide a larger viewing area and a static zoom and pan toolbar which stays put when scrolling large images. Additionally, the new viewer includes the ability to highlight and view individual articles within newspapers that have been specially processed to include article segmentation data.
