Upcoming Symbiota Code Release

Because funding for the Symbiota Support Hub does not include software development, many of the forthcoming improvements to the Symbiota code base were made possible by support from individual institutions and TCNs.

The ASU BioKIC team is slated to release their latest version of the Symbiota codebase, Symbiota 3.1, in Spring 2024. This update will include tools to facilitate batch uploading of Linked Resources and image metadata, and it will enable the use of the open source maps from Leaflet instead of Google Maps, among other enhancements and bug fixes. Many pages have also been optimized to improve accessibility. Many of these developments were made possible through NSF subawards, contract services, and the NEON Project. Release notes for versions of the Symbiota code will be found here, once ready. A future Symbiota Support Group meeting will orient the community to the new updates: stay tuned!
