Dataverse 6.6 is now available, with several important bug fixes and new features.

## **Bug fixes**

Dataverse 6.6 fixes the following bugs, including:

- A bug which causes users of the Anonymous Review URL to have some metadata of published datasets withheld has been fixed. See [\#11202](https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/11202) and [\#11164](https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/11164).
- On the Advanced Search page, the metadata fields are now displayed in the correct order as defined in the TSV file via the displayOrder value, making the order the same as when you view or edit metadata. Note that fields that are not defined in the TSV file, like the "Persistent ID" and "Publication Date", will be displayed at the end. See [\#11272](https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/11272) and [\#11279](https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/11279).
- The file page version table now shows whether a file has been replaced. See [\#11142](https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/11142) and [\#11145](https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/11145).
- The OpenAIRE metadata export format can now correctly process one or multiple productionPlaces as geolocation. See [\#9546](https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/9546) and [\#11194](https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/11194)
