I am not entierly happy about the way this is done. It would have been good with some advance notice before an incompatible change is made to ReDIF. While the changes to RAS has been discussed (I believe only on RAS-RUN) I can find no discussion of the changes to ReDIF. To make things worse we now have two different file formats in play at the same time. When will the conversion to the new format be complete? I don't like the arrows in Workplace-Name. /Sune Ivan Kurmanov skrev 2012-02-28 17:13:

Sorry, the higher-share affiliation would come first, actually. So, it may rather be like this after the upgrade:
Workplace-Name: Belarusian State University → Faculty of Economics Workplace-Institution: RePEc:edi:febsuby Workplace-Share: 70 Workplace-Name: Independent Institute of Socio-Economic & Political Studies (IISEPS) Workplace-Institution: RePEc:edi:iisepby Workplace-Share: 30

I have been reviewing past mail from myself, trying to find if i have warned you, guys, about a change in person templates that is going to happen. And I can't find it, so maybe it is just in my head.
The affiliation data in the template may look like this:
Workplace-Organization: RePEc:edi:febsuby Workplace-Organization: RePEc:edi:iisepby
But after the forthcomming upgrade, it would soon start looking as:
Workplace-Name: Belarusian State University → Faculty of Economics Workplace-Institution: RePEc:edi:febsuby Workplace-Share: 30 Workplace-Name: Independent Institute of Socio-Economic & Political Studies (IISEPS) Workplace-Institution: RePEc:edi:iisepby Workplace-Share: 70
This is a change that may require adaptation on your side.
Every ReDIF template generated after the upgrade will be formatted in the new way. Please let us know if this is a serious issue and if we should postpone the upgrade.

The RePEc Author Service will soon start disseminating person templates with new fields (Deceased, Workplace-Share). Make sure you have the redif.spec file dated 2011-11-10, distributed in ReDIF-perl version 2.66, in place, or the new templates will be rejected.
