-  * HTTPS support: Greenstone will obtain a certificate from the Certification Authority Let's Encrypt to run your GS3 tomcat over https. However, on unix systems (macs and linux), you will need to have sudo permissions. And on Windows you will probably need admin rights. For instructions on usage, see [[#setting_up_your_greenstone_to_run_over_https|Setting up your Greenstone to run over https]] +  * **HTTPS support:** Greenstone will obtain a certificate from the Certification Authority Let's Encrypt to run your GS3 tomcat over https.

-  * GreenstoneSQLPlugin/-out: used in place of GreenstoneXMLPlugin/-out to write metadata and/or fulltext into a MySQL database instead of Greenstone doc.xml files. You can then use SQL statements to mass-edit metadata/fulltext and rebuild your collection with the modified metadata/fulltext. See the wiki page on [[http://wiki.greenstone.org/doku.php?id=en:user_advanced:greenstonesqlplugs|Using the GreenstoneSQLPlugout with GreenstoneSQLPlugin]]. +  * **GreenstoneSQLPlugin/-out:** used in place of GreenstoneXMLPlugin/-out to write metadata and/or fulltext into a MySQL database instead of Greenstone doc.xml files.

-  * The UnknownConverterPlugin: if you have a command line tool installed that can convert from a document format to text or html (or png/jpg/gif images) and which you're able to successfully run from the command line to do such a conversion, then you can configure the new UnknownConverterPlugin to launch that command line tool and run the conversion automatically. This will allows document formats unrecognised by other Greenstone plugins to have their full text extracted and made searchable in Greenstone. There is a tutorial for Greenstone 3 that covers how to use the UnknownConverterPlugin.+  * **The UnknownConverterPlugin:** if you have a command line tool installed that can convert from a document format to text or html (or png/jpg/gif images) and which you're able to successfully run from the command line to do such a conversion, then you can configure the new UnknownConverterPlugin to launch that command line tool and run the conversion automatically.
