As announced, schema verions prior to 4.3.0 have been discontinued. Deposits with previous versions of the schema (4.1.0, 3.0.3, etc.) are currently failing.
Migrating to 4.3.0 for journal deposits requires only changing the version number in the schema declaration. Book and conference proceedings deposits require more complex changes. Review the help topic on schema for more information.
Please contact support@crossref.org or comment with any questions.

Over the past 3-4 weeks we have been running test deployments of the new query system. We have encountered a few problems that forced us to revert to the old system. In addition we have the old system configured as a hot backup to the new system in case the new system has a major failure. This week we have let the new query system run for longer periods of time. And I beleive we are very close to a full time deployment of the new system. This activity may have resulted in apparent flip-flopping in the query results users see.
Recently we've had a few reports of incompatibilities with the new system (e.g. queries work on the old but not the new). At this time were working with these parties to resolve the issues and while this is on going the old system is currently on line.

We've recently had some confusion about how DOI deposit fees are calculated from deposits. The process is straightforward for most deposits: a DOI is determined to be either back year or current year deposit based on the date included in the <publication_date> element.
We allow deposit of both online and print publication dates. When a DOI is deposited with both a print and online publication date the print date is used to determine the deposit fee. When depositing journals or other series or set types, be aware that each individual item is considered separately, regardless of the publication year included at the journal volume or issue level. For example, a deposit including both a print publication date of 1990 and an online date of 2010 at the issue level and only an online publication date of 2010 at the article level will be considered a current year deposit. If the print date of 1990 is included at the article level, the back year fee will be charged.
In summary: If you include both online and print publication dates in your deposits and want to avoid being charged the current year fee for back year deposits, be sure to include the print date at the article, chapter, or component level.
