[ckan-dev] CKAN 1.7 released

[Haq, Salman]

Based on some initial testing on a fresh CKAN install, I'm running into
the following issue:

A newly added datasets does now show up in search results and count of
datasets on home page is always zero. The dataset can however be accessed
via the direct link.

To reproduce:

Click "Add a dataset" in top menu.
Specify 'Basic Information': dataset name, license.
Specify 'Further Information': author, author email.
Add a resource link (optional).

Goto homepage.
Note that "Find Data" panel states 'CKAN contains 0 datasets...'.
Enter dataset name in search box.
Note that target dataset is not in results.

Goto: http://<ckan server>/dataset/<target dataset name>
Note that dataset shows up just as expected.

Let me know if anyone else can reproduce this. I am tempted to say that
'search' is generally broken

Another related data point:

Associating a dataset with a group in a specific way makes the dataset
available in search results.

Add a group: "Group1".
Goto homepage.
Click on "Group1".
Click on "Edit".
Scroll to the bottom and enter dataset name in "Dataset" field.
Save.

Goto home page and attempt to search for the dataset.

Thanks,
Salman
