General Updates

Hyku 3.0

• Bump to Hyrax 2.9, Rails 5.2, Ruby 2.7
• Bulkrax import/export is behind a feature flipper to turn on or off on a per-tenant level
• Contact Us email is customizable at tenant level
• User management elevation
• Super-admin cross-tenant user management
• Allows for SSO

Hyku 3.0

• Current issue block:
• Cross-tenant permissions on institution-only items
• The base permissions it gives you are not correct when you switch tenants
• Should not be a huge issue as most people won’t be hopping tenants unless they’re meant to have access anyway, but is unintended and a risk
• Expect resolution and 3.0 release before December.
