MDC Release Notes - 13.02.26

Hello, Mozilla Data Collective! 👋

This week, we're sharing the first of what will become fortnightly release notes, where we'll share a record of major updates from the previous two weeks that have made it onto the platform.

New Features and Changes

• Dataset download statistics are now available for uploaders. This feature will allow to you quickly view the status of your submissions, as well as how many people have downloaded your datasets.
• Published datasets can now receive updated .tar.gz files. This removes the need to create new listings when datasets are updated. Instead, dataset owners can directly upload a new .tar.gz file and make edits to their submissions to published datasets from their upload portal.
• Dataset search was moved to the global navigation bar to make it easier to discover datasets from anywhere on the site. We also changed the behavior of dataset searches to trigger on enter, instead of searching on incomplete queries.
• Draft datasets can now be deleted. This should make it easier to clean up dataset upload listings in the upload portal.
• A link to create new uploads was added to the navigation bar and home page. This should make it quicker to request uploader status, and to create new uploads/view the upload portal.
• Dataset search now operates across more of the datasheet. This should make it easier to discover datasets that match a query based on a range of possible search terms.

Fixes

• An incomplete dataset migration caused some Common Voice datasets to be unavailable. This has been resolved and the two affected datasets should now be available
• API calls made while unauthenticated now return a 401 instead of a 500 empty response
• A duplicated paragraph in the terms of service was removed
