In this webinar, members of the ArchivesSpace program team will provide background information about this necessary change and walk attendees through some considerations for downloading and installing Solr. Webinar: Making the Required Move to External Solr for ArchivesSpace When: November 3, 2021 Time: 2:00 p.m. ? 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. ? 12:00 pm PT) Where: Zoom Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_81SNSMgFTnu6Gmcdf4lO3g This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube channel. Webinar description: ArchivesSpace uses Solr for its search platform. Due to necessary upgrades that require moving to external deployment of Solr for the application, beginning in late 2021 deploying ArchivesSpace will require installing and configuring Solr. This change will not affect end users directly, but it will be a significant change for system administrators and others who deploy and manage ArchivesSpace. In this webinar, members of the ArchivesSpace program team will provide some background information about this upcoming change to the way ArchivesSpace is deployed. Team members will then walk attendees through considerations and logistics for downloading and installing Solr at their own institution. An open discussion and Q&A will follow. Who should attend: Anyone who manages their own implementation of ArchivesSpace and anyone planning to upgrade to any version of ArchivesSpace after ArchivesSpace v3.1.x. Please contact us at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org with any questions.

Contributors to the ArchivesSpace GitHub repository this month were James Bullen, Mark Cooper, Jessica Crouch, Christine Di Bella, Brian Hoffman, Andrew Morrison, Manny Rodriguez, Joshua Shaw, Mark Triggs, Lora Woodford, and Brian Zelip. (We included a few end-of-September submissions so as not to leave anyone out who was in an October-adjacent pull-request-submitting headspace.) Thank you all! In addition to the official Hacktoberfest prize options, ArchivesSpace is awarding an ArchivesSpace swag bag to the community member who submitted the most pull requests in the month of October. Because there was a tie, our randomizer selected the winner of the Hacktoberfest 2021 ArchivesSpace swag bag, who is? Joshua Shaw of Dartmouth College. Joshua is the 2020-2021 back-to-back Hacktoberfest champion! Hacktoberfest may be over, but community code contributions to ArchivesSpace are always welcome!

Her last day will be November 19. She will be deeply missed by her fellow team members and the ArchivesSpace community. In her nearly four years with ArchivesSpace Lora has been involved in many different aspects of development for the application. A substantial amount of the code in every release since 2018 can be traced back to @lorawoodford, including key features such as container merging and expanded language support. She has also worked on less visible but no less important technical improvements like formalizing the build process for releases, improving automated test coverage, and changing the way our technical documentation is generated. In addition to her development work, Lora has been an invaluable resource for the ArchivesSpace community. Lora is the rare combination of an excellent developer and incredibly knowledgeable archival professional, and we have benefitted from her analytical mind and sharp insights time and time again. Her involvement with the Core Committers group even predates her joining the ArchivesSpace team, and her institutional memory of that group is unsurpassed. LYRASIS, the Organizational Home for ArchivesSpace, will be working to fill this position soon. In the meantime, we will shift our development focus to some infrastructure-focused projects that are already underway. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. We wish Lora well in her future endeavors and look forward to opportunities for our paths to cross in the future. Lora has promised us that this isn't a forever good-bye as she aims to continue to contribute to the ArchivesSpace technical community when possible. We thank her for all she has done to make ArchivesSpace better.

This patch release is primarily intended to fix an issue with reorder mode that was introduced in 3.1.0. It also addresses a few other smaller regressions in the staff and public interfaces. If you have not already upgraded to 3.1.0, we recommend going directly to this release. More information about what's in the release and the link to download it are at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases. Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/administration/upgrading.html. If you have questions or need any assistance, please let us know. We are still working toward the end-of-the-year release that will change the deployment of ArchivesSpace to require external Solr. More information about that move is available on our blog and in the webinar we held on November 3. Expanded documentation and a user tutorial will be put out in advance of that release.
