[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Release 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 of aspace-import-excel plugin

[Mayo, Dave]

This message may be of interest to those who use, or are considering, the
aspace-import-excel plugin
(https://github.com/harvard-library/aspace-import-excel [github.com]), or
the Tufts Extended Version plugin
(https://github.com/tufts-digital-collections-archives/aspace-import-excel
.

Harvard Library is pleased to announce that the Pull Request for the Tufts
Extended Version of the plugin has been integrated, and is available as a
release at
https://github.com/harvard-library/aspace-import-excel/releases/tag/v3.0.3
. This release supports an extended spreadsheet template to take advantage
of enhancements that support:
   * Individually setting the publish/unpublish flags for Notes.
   * Ability to add Agents as Source and Subject, not just Creator.
   * Expanded the number of Agents for each type, including directions for
adding even more agents.
   * Support for more than one Extent, with the ability to add more
extents.

IF you are using ArchivesSpace v2.7 -- or planning to soon -- we recommend
that you instead download and install v3.0.4 at
https://github.com/harvard-library/aspace-import-excel/releases/tag/v3.0.4.
This version supports the new Language block introduced by ArchivesSpace.
Full User documentation for the import of Archival Objects in this version
is at
https://github.com/harvard-library/aspace-import-excel/blob/v3.0.4/user_documentation/archival_objects_instructions.md
.

Note that both versions are backward compatible in that you may continue
to use the spreadsheet templates you are currently using, although it is
recommended that, when you upgrade to ArchivesSpace v2.7, you use the new
spreadsheet template that allows you to specify the language (controlled
value list), language script (ditto), and the language of materials note.
