What's New

This section provides an overview of what's new in the latest version of the Ed-Fi API Publisher. For the complete list of changes, see Release Notes.

Updates in API Publisher v1.4 (Latest Release)​

.NET 10​

The API Publisher now runs on .NET 10, the current long-term support release of .NET. Install the .NET 10 runtime before upgrading a deployment that uses the portable EdFi.ApiPublisher package. The Windows package includes the runtime, and the Docker image is built on .NET 10.

Ed-Fi API v8 Support​

The API Publisher can now publish from and to Ed-Fi API v8, in any combination with the Ed-Fi ODS/API: from an ODS/API to Ed-Fi API v8, from Ed-Fi API v8 to an ODS/API, and between two Ed-Fi API v8 instances. Support is validated against Ed-Fi API v8.0.

The publisher reads each API's Discovery document to find where it serves its resources and its token endpoint, so a connection needs only the API's base URL, key and secret. See:

  • Ed-Fi API v8 for the claim sets, the API client setup and the prerequisites of a target.
  • Known Issues Details for the rate limit of an Ed-Fi API v8.0 target and the snapshot and paging behavior of an Ed-Fi API v8.0 source.

Cursor Paging​

When the source is an Ed-Fi ODS/API 7.3 or later, the publisher reads each resource with partitioned cursor paging instead of offset paging. Each resource is split into partitions that are read in parallel, and reading a page does not get slower the deeper it is in the resource, which shortens publishing for large resources. Other sources, including Ed-Fi API v8.0, are read with offset paging as before.

Cursor paging is on by default. A run that fails partway can be continued with --resumeLastRun=true instead of starting again. Use --disableCursorPaging=true to return to offset paging. See API Publisher Configuration for the related options.
