Major improvements include:

• API improvements: there is now a DKAN Dataset REST API, and the DKAN Datastore API now supports complex query requests from contents within the Datastore, as well as multiple queries in a single request.
• Metadata Standards: DKAN now natively supports the European Union’s DCAT-AP metadata standard; the Federal Extras module is also now part of DKAN Core, enabling DKAN to support US Project Open Data metadata standards out of the box, including form validation for same.
• Data Previews: now support JSON, geojson, XML, ArcGIS REST, WMS, images, PDF, and ZIP data formats, as well as better support for previewing Data Resources that are hosted remotely.
